Jon wrote that I should repost if this didn't work, well
it didn't. Actually I had already tried this before
posting.

Back to the probleme: Autocomplete doesn't work from the
address bar. It works everywhere else and if I login as
administrator it works fine from the address bar.

Still, if there is anyone who a soloution I will be glad
to hear from you.

OS:XP Pro

Thanks

Jan

Jan,
For WinXP or Win2000
Your symptoms may indicate a corrupt index.dat file or History folder.

Log on as Administrator and delete the affected <username> History
folder.
For example:
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\HISTORY"

Regards,
Don

It worked, but you also have to do it to "Default user"
otherwise it don't work.

Thanks Don
