| 594108 | 2007-09-23 03:35:00 | I have a problem that has only just occurred. My desktop shortcuts to URL's are preceded with a Window saying:- Windows cannot find (the URL) make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again etc. I click OK to the get rid of the window and although I get to the URL this window is annoying. Strangely enough the only shortcut that works ok is the one to F1. Any clues please.? |

| 594112 | 2007-09-23 10:02:00 | If you make a new shortcut, does this work OK? No. It still comes up with the same Windows message. |

| 594113 | 2007-09-23 10:05:00 | Can you show/tell us what you get when you right-click the shortcut and select Properties? For paradise.net when I right click and properties I get http://www.paradise.net.nz/ All the URL's appear to work ok it is just that I keep getting the dam Windows message which I have to close each time. |

| 594115 | 2007-09-24 06:13:00 | What happens if you change the www.paradise.net.nz/ to http: (remove the www part) in your shortcut? Just trying to work out the difference between the OK PressF1 shortcut and the problem ones. |

Just trying to work out the difference between the OK PressF1 shortcut and the problem ones. Jen, I have woken up. F1 is my home page. I fixed the problem by uninstalling everything connected with Firefox and then reinstalled and the problem is fixed.I am still not sure what caused the problem but suspect it was after an update of Firefox. Thanks for you help. Cheers. |
