    Google Chrome Problem

    I have previously been able to launch a web page via VB6 with the following code

    Code:
            ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "Open", "http://www.intelemarketing.com.au/demo.htm", vbNullString, "C:\", 1
    Previously Internet Explorer would open up and I would see the page

    Somehow Google chrome has now become my preferential browser and now it doesnt work - I get the result - "Website has become unresponsive - Kill Pages OR Wait"

    (Neither of these options work)

    Is there a different sequence required when launching Google chrome Browser

    Which also asks a question -

    What is my default browser ?

    Thanks for any ideas

    Re: Google Chrome Problem

    Sounds like google chrome is set as the default. Is simple enough to change it to a different browser.
    Always use [code][/code] tags when posting code.

    Re: Google Chrome Problem

    Correct - Chrome is

    What has me concerned is that the website link is passed correctly to the address bar in Chrome, but it is still giving the error

    I will change back to Internet Explorer as the default but it still doesn't explain why I have the problem

    Perhaps I should send a question to Google

    Or even more radically, GOOGLE for a possible answer !!!!!!

    Thanks (Cheers)
