Hello I am new today to this forum: I am hoping someone can help me with an issue. I am running Windows 7 with IE9 on my Laptop. When I enter in a website at the top left hand side as for example http://www.accesshd.tv and hit the enter key or the refresh to the right, it searches and then fails. I get a page connection has failed and diagonse connection problem. If i enter www.google.ca it works. Now here is the strange part (for me anyway). If I search google for accesshd.tv and find the site in the search below and open it , the address bar fills in with the exact same entry and the website opens. Resetting the router has no effect as others said to try. Thanks

Hi, and welcome to the forums. Have you tried clearing the cache/history in IE9?

One of the options in IE is to Reset the browser, which might work. Just this weekend I had to do this on my wife's computer because she lost the ability to Crtl - click a hyperlink in a Word document, kept getting an error message that she needed administrative permissions, which was nonsense. It turns out that installing then uninstalling Chrome had permanently altered some of the IE registry settings that I had to modify then reset IE. It took a ton of googling to find the solution to that one.
