" Cannot find 'www.mp3car.com'. Make sure the path or internet address is correct."
If I type it as "http://www.mp3car.com" then my browser goes to the page. That goes for any web page I type in the address bar I've tried resetting my internet settings and even reinstalling XP Pro to no avail. Anyone knows how I could remedy this problem?

Have you updated IE to SP1? Run Spybot/Adaware. Try reinstalling IE (You have to remove a key in the registry and it forces a reinstall of IE).
And Mozilla isn't bugless either...

I use nothing but firefox (linux). I haven't had any problems with it. I used IE the other day and I was like "WHAT ARE THESE POP UP THINGS DOING? ARGHHHH"

Sounds like you've lost your registy settings proberly did when you run a spy ware detector they do theat sometimes if you're not to careful on what keys you choose to remove, anyway to fix you need to re input the reg values in to the registry so I.E knows what to do when you type in a web address, such a reg file already compiled can be found on a google serach i just cant remember where
