BigDaddyO Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 have you tried from a command prompt to simply type Start you should get a description of the Start command. if you get an error then your Pathing is messed up on your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use it on my work laptop?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well, It might be caused if you use a Proxy ServerIn my corporate environnement, if i ommit iexplore, i am requested to log on the proxy server whereas in the other case it is fully fonctionnal.

It's got like 2 sets of alphabetical order like it goes. a b c d etc then a b c d And its in the 2nd set of alphabet things . Its not the only place you can find it but, I just choose that one because I'm used to it. Edited April 21, 2005 by Burrup qq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good part is that it works both in my laptop (iexplorer) and in my desktop (firefox)the var $url1 can be changed for an actual URLhope it helps someone cheers and many thanks to this great friendly community (and Jon above all )yes, i like to use smilies a lot Edited April 23, 2005 by mestrini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
