Hi,

When I type in any URL in the address box (sorry I dont know the right term for it) at the top of my browser, it freezes up and I have to close that page down and open a new one. The only way I can get to any websites is to type the URL into my Yahoo or Google search box in my browser. Just started happening about a month ago. I am using Gateway Laptop Win XP. Thanks for any advice!
