Hi Dan :-)

As Don suggested, you may have a corrupted folder. Also, check the
information here and see if it will provide information for you.

Addresses Are Not Resolved When the AutoComplete Feature Is Enabled
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q230592#kb1

It may also be necessary to repair your IE. If you need assistance with this
please post back here and we will provide the instructions for you.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Jan :)
