You say that you're facing this issue only on one computer.Now, see whether
Start->Run (some url) works on that machine. Since both access the same
function (ShellExecute), this should give us more clues about where the
problem lies

Start > Run > www.somesite.com loads it up in IE. it's a standard dell XP pro installation also, so its odd that it works on other machines. any other suggestions are much appreciated. thanks tim \\ email: tim at mackey dot ie // \\ blog: http://tim.mackey.ie // 67d0ebfec70e8db3 "Manoj G [MVP]" <manuthegreat@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%23LKcL2CZEHA.3512@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... Hi, Check if you have a default browser configured by actually typing the URL in the Run command window and seeing if a browser launches from there. For Win2k Sp3 onwards you can configure this using the "Set program access and defaults" tab of the Add-Remove programs snapin. -- HTH, Manoj G [MVP , Visual Developer - Visual Basic ] http://msmvps.com/manoj/ "Tim Mackey" <tim@scootasp.net> wrote in message news:2l0511F77d2rU1@uni-berlin.de... hi, i'm opening a web browser from my winforms app, via the System.diagnostics.process.start(theURL) method. it has been working fine, although on one client, i am getting the following exception: Win32Exception The system cannot find the file specified System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(String fileName) obviously, its a url and not a filename that i'm passing, so i can see where its getting the exception, but it works on 99% of computers and i gather this approach is the same as clicking Start > Run > someUrl in Windows, so thats why i use this method. also its good because it uses the default browser which is nice to the user. the OS is windows XP pro. any ideas? thanks tim \\ email: tim at mackey dot ie // \\ blog: http://tim.mackey.ie // 67d0ebfec70e8db3
