die-hard SERVER BUSY warning: default browser related problem

[Joe]

I tried all I could to set a default browser (from within Firefox,
from Control panels),
and most recently I did:
firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser
following hints from a netter, and set
"Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults

custom.."

Now whenever I click a hyperlink from within Eudora, after a LONG
pause (>15 seconds), a "die-hard" prompt comes out:

SERVER BUSY
This action cannot be completed because the other programs is busy.
Choose "Switch to" to activate the busy program and correct the
problem.
[ Switch to ] [ Retry ]

-- the only thing I could click is "[switch to]" which leads to
"Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Set Program Access and
Defaults ....",
and I have to **change** the "Default Program" in the control panel
before the above
prompt could kindly go away. Any solution?

Is IE7 installed?

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous
message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.


IE(7) *must* be set as the default browser.
