When I type address in the address field of IE 10 nothing happens. The typed address will not open up at all. In fact it does not even pull up. I can open up address bar in Firefrox but when I try in IE (even though my default browser is set to Firefox) nothing happens. When IE opens up it goes to my home page and I can click on items in my home page and they open up, but when I physically type in address in the address field that address will do absolutely nothing. Thanks

Hi Tom Tom.
Welcome to WTT :thumbup:

Lets make sure the IE10 basics are 100%. You can return to Firefox as default later.

Change the file types that Internet Explorer opens by default:

1. Close all Internet Explorer windows.
2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. Click Programs, and then click Set your default programs.
4. On the Programs menu, click Internet Explorer, and then click Choose defaults for this program.
5. Make sure that the check boxes for .htm, .html, and .url are selected, and then click Save.
6, Click OK.


Click Start, type Internet Explorer in the Search box, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
If Internet Explorer No Add-ons mode resolves the problem, follow these steps to identify the browser add-in that is causing the problem:
1. To start Internet Explorer, click Start, and then click Internet Explorer.
2. Click the Tools button, and then click Manage add-ons.
3. Click an add-in in the Name list, and then click Disable. Test Internet Explorer.
4. Repeat step 3 until you identify the add-in that is causing the problem.

Reset Internet Explorer settings
To reset Internet Explorer Settings, follow these steps (resetting Internet Explorer to the default settings does not delete your favorites, feeds, and several other personal settings):
1. Close all Internet Explorer windows.
2. Click Start, type inetcpl.cpl in the Search box and then click inetcpl.cpl on the Programs list.
3. The Internet Options dialog box appears.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Under Reset Internet Explorer Settings, click Reset. Then, click Reset again.
6. When Internet Explorer finishes resetting, click Close in the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box.
7. Start Internet Explorer again.
8. Your changes will take effect the next time that you open Internet Explorer.

Cheers,
Lee

Lee, the first option did not solve the problem BUT the second option to reset IE 10 did. Works fine now. BUT I do not have the address line options such as to favorites etc. How do I get it back? Tom

Right click on the IE10 header and check Menu. That should bring it back.
