When I type in a domain name using just "www.anyname.com" or "anyname.com" I
get a "Cannot find" java window error message.

I need to type in the full url using the prefix "http://" to go to a site.
It used to work then stopped.

Why is my IE browser having this problem? I tried reinstalling IE, and
checking and unchecking "inline auto complete" box in Advanced tools, but
the problem persists.

Anyone know how to fix this??

Thanx.

From a previous post by Mike Burgess.

Verify the following entries are correct in the Registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPre
fix]
@="http://"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"
