Hi Bruce,

I am having the same problem. I know I am typeing my address correctly.

"www.dcu.org"

My address line does nothing at all. If I type "dcu.org"
it works, but if I use www it won't

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mark

If I click on:

http://www.dcu.org/

It opens. If this is a problem when clicking a link id Outlook Express, be
more specific.

If this is a problem with Internet Explorer, you're asking in the wrong
newsgroup.

Normally I go to the address bar, click on it,
the whole thing turns blue and I type:

www.dcu.org

no http:

This usually works and does still on my laptop, but not on my desktop since
about a week ago. Wondering if I changed something without knowing it.

Thanks

See below:

(1) MS plans to re-release MS06-015 on 25 Apr-06 to address known issues
associated with the first release of the update:

"When the update is re-released, it's going to be very much targeted to
people who are having the problem, or people who have not installed MS06-015
yet. That means if you have already installed MS06-015 and are not having
the problem, there's no action here for you. Windows Update, Microsoft
Update, and Automatic Update will have detection logic built into them to
only offer the revised update (which essentially includes the reg key fix)
to those customers who either don't have MS06-015 or are having the
problem."
Source: http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archiv...21/425838.aspx

(2) You may experience problems in Windows Explorer or in the Windows shell
after you install security update MS06-015 (v3.0, 20 Apr-06)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165

QP
.. You cannot access special folders such as "My Documents" or "My Pictures."
.. Microsoft Office applications stop responding when you try to save or to
open Office files in the "My Documents" folder.
.. Office files that are located in the "My Documents" folder cannot be
opened.
.. If you open a file by clicking Open on the File menu, the application
stops responding.
.. When you type an address in the Address box in Microsoft Internet
Explorer, nothing happens.
.. When you right-click a file and then click Send To, nothing happens.
.. When you expand a folder in Windows Explorer, nothing happens.
.. Some third-party applications stop responding when you open or save data
in the "My Documents" folder.
/QP

The Registry edit referenced in Resolutions section of 918615 above can be
implemented by downloading:

HP's Share-to-Web software - Fix (Line 383, Right)
(good for WinXP and Win2K03, but not Win2K)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

To use: Download the .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you may want
to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file. You will
be prompted when the script is done.

(3) Mike Reavey [MSFT] suggests here
http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archiv...18/425473.aspx that older
NVIDIA graphics card drivers [and Nvidia's Nview desktop] may be a factor in
applications ceasing to respond after installing MS06-015. Check your
computer manufacturer's Tech Support pages for NVIDIA driver updates or
start he http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
