Its an Internet Explorer error message. Does it happen with other web browsers?

Some things to try:
1. WinBolo associates itself with winbolo:// URLs when it is started. Try starting WinBolo and quitting for it to recreate the association.
2. From the start menu, goto run. Type in: winbolo://localhost:5000 then click run. Does it start WinBolo?

hmm...

I clicked on that first linky blue letter and it gave me the message and then shut my window, makingme renavigate back here. I triied the other run command and it brought me to the join by address function of joining a game...

I don't wanna use other browsers.... :(

I like Opera: http://www.opera.com/download/

Others like Firefly: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/download.html?http%3A//ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.9.3/FirefoxSetup-0.9.3.exe

Every time I've had or seen a problem with IE, it's been because of other 'questionable' software installed on the system; e.g., filesharing programs that cause various kinds of fatal errors, adware that interferes with normal operation, search engines that override important settings, etc. I think IE is an excellent browser if you can identify the other nasty software bullies that are beating up on it :D . Using another browser is perhaps a neat fix, but it only sidesteps a problem that should be dealt with directly.

FINALLY! Someone else that uses Opera besides me!

And I believe it's FireFox, unless they've changed names again.

Opera roxs. And yes, it is FireFox, as you can see from the link. Guess I was just thinking about a bad scifi western tv show...

I thought firefly was excellent.

Firefox, its a great browser, but get a slightly older version like 0.08, there is never any problems with that version, but the newest version still has some bugs.

I think it's the same problem I had with many first season(s) of a show, the acting is just so bad I can't bare to sit through it. I couldn't watch star trek tng the first few years. But I have a very high tolerance for scifi, maybe it was the western that got me.

*Gulp

sorry guys, can't figure out if it's the browser or which is best. My CPU died, at least that's what i think... check general chat for suggestions...


It served me well, i think five years...

Good ol' AMD :)
