Address bar - drop down flickers and nothing is shown

I have this strange issue in IE8. When I click the drop down arrow on the
address bar, I see it drawing then it immediately disappears. Further clicks
on the arrow show nothing.
I launched IE without addons, reset it, checked the autocomplete settings
and nothing.
I turned suggested sites on. The dropdown worked once and then never more.
Thank you for your help

Re: Address bar - drop down flickers and nothing is shown

Hi,
Which version of Windows? (Including SP level- Vista SP1, XP SP2 ,etc.)

In Internet Options> Content> AutoComplete, is AutoComplete enabled for the
Address Bar?

Was a third party security suite, antivirus program or firewall running when
IE8 was installed?

What third-party security programs are running?

IE8 removed Inline AutoComplete for Address Bar
