Windows cannot find

[Guest]

When I click to open a web page I get the message that" windows cannot find
xxxxx address", but the page opens anyway. Everything works but it's just an
irritation.
I have Vista and use Foxfire. Thanks

For a start, it is Firefox, not Foxfire.
Make it the default browser then!!!!!

In your quick launch group in the taskbar, right click Internet Explorer and
click 'Run as Administrator'. Try launching the site again.

On the one hand it obviously is the default browser however this is a
known problem with Firefox.

Try this:

To workaround this problem, go to Start -> Default Programs -> Set
default programs for this computer, Select Firefox, Choose defaults for
this program, select all (probably are already!), Save.

Don't bother I spoke too soon. There was a registry edit that would
work on XP (until the next update) but I don't know of anything for
Vista. The only other idea would be to keep Firefox open and minimised.

The page loads fine but I get a false error message from Windows before it loads. The message comes before the web page has time to load.

Maybe I should quit using Foxfire especially since I get the name wrong.

It would help if you gave the address that couldn't be found. Is it the same
page/site or different pages/sites. Does IE do the same thing?

Having said all that I have shut down, gone out, come home and restarted
and it seems to be OK now, so might be worth a try.
