You have to have the latest beta. You may also need a file to be included with your script such as IE.au3. Hopefully someone more qualified will come and answer any more questions you may have. I am only able to give a brief answer.

is there no other way to do this?

You could just use the run command for your browser and add the url as a command line option.

you could just RUN(@COMSPEC & ' /c start http://www.maidmarian.com/MOONBASE.htm')

Sure you can always use Run() with or without @ComSpec. I will try to post an example later. I have to get off the net for now...

RUN(@COMSPEC & ' /c start http://www.knuddels.de/applet_old.html?c=-3')

nice that works but is there a way to open in a new window?

try em all

Func _INetBrowse($s_URL, $i_OPT = 2)
Switch $i_OPT
Case 0
;drawback: doesnt work on urls with "&"
RunWait(@comspec & ' /c start ' & $s_URL, @WorkingDir, @SW_HIDE)
return 1
Case 1
;thx to sykes <---------------------------------------------
RunWait("rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " & $s_URL, @WorkingDir)
Return 1
Case 2
;prefered 1
DllCall("Shell32.dll", "int", "ShellExecute", "hwnd", 0, "str", 'open', "str", $s_URL, "str", '', "str", @WorkingDir, "int", 10)
return 1
Case 3
;prefered 2
$o_SA = ObjCreate('Shell.Application')
$o_SA.Open($s_URL)
return 1
EndSwitch
Return 0
EndFunc;==>_INetBrowse

Try

#include <Process.au3>
$rc = _RunDos("start iexplore.exe Http://www.autoitscript.com")

If you care to use IE.au3 it would look like this:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.maidmarian.com/MOONBASE.htm")
