I regret to say that I tried your "One hit wonder" but it has not got rid of this "Application not found " window and I still can't move forward !!

[dx100uk]

can you see if the error box has any further details please like what it is trying to find?

there is usually more info other than just application not found.

else its time to look in the errors logs under admin in control panel.

the link you have typed in above does not work, if you can check that and ensure it is correct then it might be possible to assist

[dx100uk]

this is an internet explorer error is it not
not a widows error.

you've got your homepage set to www.applianceonline.co.uk/ (http://www.applianceonline.co.uk/) bla bla bla??

in otherwords you dont get this till you want to get onto the internet i bet?

reset your homepage to yahoo or WHY.

I agree with dx100uk - its deffo a browser error.

I assume this is the link you are clicking on
http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk/product_information.aspx?productID=5432& productcode=EKC (http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk/product_information.aspx?productID=5432& productcode=EKC)

Does it work when u copy/paste the above link into an already open browser window directly ??

If so, it suggest to me you dont have a default browser set so when you click on this link (guessing its in a mail or something???) then indeed it cant find the application or know WHICH browser app to use.

Have you set a default browser - for example Internet Explorer??

To do this is VISTA IIRC
Click Start, Default Programs
Click Set your default programs
Select your web browser from the list
Click Set this program as default
Click OK.

Who's the clever Boy then ?
Is it dx100uk ?
Nick in the north ?
or Charlie ?
Well ....................... its 10 0ut 0f 10 for Charlie !!!!
I am deeply grateful to you all for trying to help me.
I followed Charlie's instructions and made Google my default and the fault in question and others as well all vanished !! Thank you all for your help.

Not wanting to take Charlie's thunder away from him, but if you had more clearly explained what you were doing when the error message appeared then I'm sure it would have been solved much quicker :).

As the first line of the sticky at the top of the Technical Support forum says "When posting for assistance in this forum can you please give as much information as possible/is practicable."

Aye Bob I have often thought "the Psychic lady from Groats" would make a valuable addition to this forum:)

Sometimes its like pullin teeth getting symptoms, but as you will be well aware, that is the nature of the the tech suppport business.

Team effort and we got there in the end.

OK OK OK ....................... point taken, but there is still a plus in there for Charlie he managed to mend the job with fewer tools !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
