: : : : Hi Mark, : : : : Ive just installed and registered FM6. : : : : When I try to jump to your website from the help menu, I see a box saying that the site was not accessible and that "this feature requires a web browser to be installed on your computer and that your shell be configured to open URLs" : : : : Given that the problem is mine and not in FM6, what would you suggest is the matter here? : : : : IE5.5 is already installed and working. : : : : I am running Windows 95c : : : : I can log on to your site from within IE5. : : : : I can jump to your site when I click on your web address shown in an email from you. : : : : I can jump to any web site shown in emails when I click on the respective addresses. : : : : I can download price updates from the internet using FM6. : : : : I cannot jump to your web site from within FM6. I get that message about a shell and URLs. : : : : I have looked in the Windows Help pages and can find no reference to shells or URLs. : : : : In my "Internet Properties", "Programs", The box is ticked beside "IE should check to see if it is the default browser" : : : : Maybe the problem is in FM6. : : : : Over to you. : : : : Cheers : : : : Roger : : : Hi Roger, : : : What if you try this: : : : Start/Run... : : : and type in: : : : http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/ : : : Enter : : : Does the browswer open up this URL? : : : Thanks, : : : Mark : : : -- : : : Mark Beiley : : : : : : Fund Manager, portfolio management software for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/00/XP : : : /XP : : : : : Hi Mark, : : you are right on to it! I get a message telling me to associate this file with a program. Then it says go to "My computer, "View", "Folder options" and create an association. Unfortunately, the message did not provide further assistance. : : As this is a problem in my computer and not FM6, I should be now seeking help from some other source. However if the creation process is easily explained, I would be most grateful for any advice you can provide. : : Cheers : : Roger : : Hi Roger, : I'm not exactly sure how to manually set this up. I believe on newer OS's : this association is already made in the shell. I would have guessed that : when you installed IE5 this would have set up this association for you... : If you don't get it configured it doesn't change the functionality of FM, : it just removes the convenience of being able to quickly get to certain : pages on our web site. : Thanks, : Mark : -- : Mark Beiley : : Fund Manager, portfolio management software for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/00/XP : /XP : Hi Mark, Fixed!!! I edited "URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol" to make IE the default opener. The advice came from the Microsoft site. Thanks for your input. Cheers Roger
