die-hard SERVER BUSY warning: default browser related problem

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?
