I get this error when clicking on any hotspot or link within an html e-mail. The links show correctly in the bottom bar on the LHS when I hover over the hotspot. Links to Notes documents work OK.
I have tried editing the location doc for using IE by itself or with Notes but the error is the same. This error apprears when I am using Notes client on my laptop. I have a desktop at home setup in much the same way which does not have the problem.
Subject: Solution - IE was not the default browser
I discovered this for an unrelated reason but setting IE as the defaut browser from within IE sorted this problem out. Looks like setting the browser from within Notes does not properly set it in the operating system (XP Pro). We use profiles here so might relate to that.
Subject: It relates to the default browser
I have not totally got to the bottom of this because there is more than one of us responsible for computer administration here. The error is caused by the operating system not recognising IE as the default browser. I have to reset it every day within IE. Notes preferences has an option to use the operating system default browser without being specific. We use profiles here to manage our XP Pro clients and I have a suspicion the problem is to do with these, which I am following up. The machine having the problem is a laptop so is booted up regularly on and off the network.
