Pat:
Twice I have had my computer start to do funny things like what you describe
and in both cases the motherboard was failing and a faulty motherboard can
do a lot of damage. I recommend that you have your computer checked out.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Default browser etc in Options>Customize>Launch
Dave,
Thanks so much. Windows told me to go to IE (if it had 4,5,6 and gave no
instructions for 7, which is what I have). IE says it is NOT my default
browser; Firefox says it IS my default browser. Which is the way I want it.
However, when I click ANY link in ANY email, NOTHING happens (includes those
at the bottom of your email). I have to cut and paste the url.
On the other hand, when I'm on an Internet site, the browser DOES go to the
site I click on. Though of course there are times when the url is not
shown, but the message says, e.g. "click here to go to . . . " and I click
on here but nothing will happen; at other times I'm taken to wherever
without a problem. I haven't been very observant about when this does/does
not happen.
Should you respond to this off-list? Or should I just try to get help from
MicroSoft or Legacy Support and not bother you!!?
My computer does weird things anyway (when I was typing the preceding line,
it wanted to do it in all-caps. I had to put the cap locks key ON to get it
to type lowercase. This and other paragraphs worked just as they should in
re cap/lc!!!)
Also, in Legacy when I click on Internet>Legacy Home Page and get the "no
default browser" message, and click on OK, nothing happens -- whereas it
used to go ahead and take me to the Home Page anyway (same with the other
Internet options).
SO-O-O, I decided to go ahead and put in Firefox as my ALTERNATE BROWSER in
Legacy's Options>Customize>Launch. However, even though I can put my cursor
in the Alternate Web Browser space, and get a flashing straight vertical
line, it will not accept single character I type. If I click on the "Launch"
button, nothing happens. If I click on the "Change" button, I am taken to a
folder I created "L_MULTIMEDIA BU," which is in another folder I created "1L
BU 20060808-1248," which is in the "Data" folder inside the Legacy folder,
which is directly on my C drive rather than inside my Program Files. SO-O-O
I don't know HOW to enter a default browser.

<snipped>
So where DO I enter the default? and how, e.g. IE7 or do I have to
write it out? Do I give the version number etc.?
It's entered in your operating system (Windows?), but this sounds
very strange to me.
What happens if you click on one of the links at the bottom of this
message -- does it open up that web page in your "default browser"?
If it does then you have a default browser and Legacy should be using
it. If not, then in Windows (assuming you use Windows) you need to
click on Settings > Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs tab >
Default Web browser.
Cheers, -- Dave N.
