This was a recurring problem in beta versions of the program, but I thought
it had largely been fixed in the gold release. It may have something to do
with different browsers competing for attention. A workaround which worked
for some people was, in the Control panel > Folder options > File types >
URL: entries for HTTP etc., click the Advanced button, highlight Open and
select Edit. On the resulting page, deselect Use DDE. Please let us know if
this makes any difference.
