Error Launching Browser
I have Office 2003. When in Excel I go to Help/Check for updates. I get a
message that says "Error Launching Browser". What I am doing wrong? Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks. Steve Reinstgein |

Error Launching Browser
Hi Steve,
My guess is that you are not using Internet Explorer as your default browser. IE would allow Microsoft to run Active-X on your machine. I use Firefox as my default browser and if I were to go to http://support.microsoft.com from Firefox and then head for anything marked update I would get the following message: Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site. To use this site, you must be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later. To upgrade to the latest version of the browser, go to the Internet Explorer Downloads website. Do you get such a message. What are you trying to update would they be HELP files -- I don't have Excel 2003. For updates, I try to make sure that nothing starts automatically and that I use IE to get updates from Microsoft. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Steve" wrote in message ...

Error Launching Browser
I get the same error as Steve but my default browser must be IE, because
links open in IE from any e-mail. But I cannot find anywhere else in Outlook where I can change any kind of preferences for the browser. Can you guide me? "Steve" wrote: I have Office 2003.
