Re: Help - URL opening problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Paste the url into the Start | Run box. IE will open to that address.

For example, to reach the Microsoft Web site, paste...

www.microsoft.com

into the Run command, click OK and IE will open to http://www.microsoft.com/

Hope this helps. Let us know.
