Help system launches wrong browser when I search

When I search the help of Illustrator or Photoshop, it launches my Opera browser.  I've only installed Opera for testing web designs.  I don't like it.  It's not my default browser.  How can I make it launch my default browser, or how can I specify a browser for the help system?
I'm using CS4 on Windows 7.  I've set the default browser in Windows.  Additionally I've used 'Default Programs' to set the various browser file types to my default browser.  The only place where Opera pops up is when I search the help system in the Adobe Creative Suite applications.  Everywhere else, the correct browser is launched.

Thanks for the help. I decided to give it another shot, and bought a new card. Popped the new one in and it worked the first time. Didn't even need to disable the HD Audio option in the BIOS.Guess I got a dud the first time. Now I have to return the old card.

  • Help with Help.  Launches Wrong Browser

    thanks for your advice.  I'm trying to learn Illustrator and use CorelDraw less often.

  • .jar files not launching, and Jar Launcher not appearing when I search it

    Okay, so here's the issue:
    A couple weeks ago, I decided to download a stand-alone jar file for my personal use. The jar file, dependent on nothing, ran in Jar Laucher by default and worked fine. Earlier this week, however, I decided my Mac was cluttered and so I went through it and cleared out everything I wasn't ever going to use again. I also have an app called "The Unarchiver" from the Mac App store (I've had this for about two months). Since the uncluttering, three bad things have happened. 1) Any .jar files open in The Unarchiver instead of Jar launcher
    2) When I search around my Mac for Jar Launcher, nothing appears.
    3) The .jar file icons changed to this:
    Also, I tried uninstalling The Unarchiver, and it still didn't work. Either Jar Launcher is gone, or it went dormant. What should I do, and if needed, where can I reinstall Jar Launcher?!?
    (Mac Late 2009 Model 10.7.3)

    I figured out how to fix this issue. All you have to do is just install a new version of Java from the Apple website. When it's done, all of your jar files will now open in Jar Launcher by default.

    You don't need to uninstall The Unarchiver.

  • How to view crawled documents of file system in the browser using sharepoint search

    Hi,
    I think this should be pretty obvious. However, somehow I am not able to do it. Here is what i am working on:
    I created a folder on my D:\ drive on the SharePoint server. Added a few word documents there.Created a new content source in my Search Service Application and configured it to crawl above folder from file system. Ran a full crawl. All the documents are
    crawled successfully. I can see the documents on the search page. Now, the problem is:
    How can I open this document directly in the browser? Becuase the path i get is of the folder on the server. If this isn't possible then I think,there is no use of this feature. I just see the title and a short description of the document.
    But, I think it should be possible. I just don't know how to do it.
    Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

    Hi Mohan,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open the documents in file shares in the browser by clicking the link in search results.
    As the files are not stored in SharePoint, so we need to configure Office Web Apps for the documents to open the files in the browser.
    Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

  • E61 Open Link from Mail launches wrong browser

    Hi,
    I've just noticed that, when following a web link from within an email received on my POP3 account, the phone lauches the basic web browser (i.e. the 'Services' application) rather than the more advanced 'Web' application - surely the page should be opened in the new clever browser with mini-map etc.??
    This may be just another T-Mobile only issue - my details below:
    1.0610.04.04
    19-04-06
    RM-89
    Any feedback appreciated,
    Cheers,
    Jhonne
    Jhonne

    Thanks P,
    Seems ridiculous really - there must be a way to configure which application is launched, just its not accessible to us plebs!
    I'm really starting to wish I'd bought a windows based phone, while the E61 is very good in many ways, I'm getting fed up with all th faults I keep coming across... especially when some of these are so basic.
    Given we've now had >4 years of Series 60 based phones, should we still be seeing these sillies?

  • (10.1.3.0.4) Help System does not start

    For some reason my help system does not start when selecting from the menu. "Table of contents" or "index" options do nothing. It use to work fine. Conext sensitive help works okay by pressing F1.
    Any ideas?

    Hi paulfrench, check your documentation settings
    Menu Tools -> Preferences -> Documentation
    Make sure you have checked all of them.

  • The Help system cannot be launched....

    I purchased a copy of DW CS6 a few days ago, and installed it yesterday. It seems to be working ok, but I cannot use the help system. I did a search on google and found this:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/error-help-system-cannot-launched.html
    I followed the steps as best I could, but it hasn't fixed the problem.
    am I overlooking something?

    I've received that error before, and although the error message is completely wrong, the cause was that I was not connected to the Internet.
    When you press F1 (or go to Help > Dreamweaver Help), Dreamweaver tries to connect to the product documentation online; if it can connect to it, it opens your browser to the main topics page. If it can't connect, then it tries to open the local PDF file of the documentation instead.
    I got this error because I did not yet have the local PDF file, which may be the cause for you as well.
    This forum thread, along with its associated KB article, explain how to correct this:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1007704
    Essentially, connect to the Internet, use the Help Manager (look for the shortcut in the Start Menu called "Adobe Help") to download the PDF, then you can disconnect from the Internet again.

  • Setup for iPhone 4 shows google browser when I touch safari. Help to change to safari., Setup for iPhone 4 shows google browser when I touch safari. Help to change to safari.

    I was setting up my pop's new iPhone 4.  When I was setting up the Safari Browser, it asked what I thought was which search engine I wanted to use, so I entered Google.  Problem is that I somehow made the Safari Browser open up into a Google Browser.  I love Safari & can't find how to switch it back to a Safari Browser when I touch the Safari App on Pop's iPhone.  Looked in settings & couldn't find how to correct my mistake.  Help please.

    Google doesn't, to the best of my knowledge, even make a browser for iOS. Even if they did, you would have had to have downloaded it from the App Store. And, even if you had downloaded an alternate browser (there are quite a few), they wouldn't launch if you tapped the Safari icon.
    What, exactly, do you mean when you say "Google browser"? What are you seeing?

  • Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
    Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
    Keyboard shortcuts:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
    * [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

  • Can't launch default browser to view help

    when I go to the help section it states there was an error launching the default browser and than I may need to reinstall the application and the help component.....how do I do this and what caused this to start happening....thanks
    [ title changed to something useful by admin ]

    See if you can launch the browser from your file browser (explorer on windows and finder on mac)
    If you can not, then that is an OS issue and someone here may help, but would need to know what OS you are using since the directions are different for each OS.
    If it does launch , let us know and someone will help with the directions as long as you provide what OS you have and what version of photoshop you have. Again the directions differ.

  • How do I find my tab history? I had hard drive issues and when I launched my browser after getting it back their was no "restore session" option. I know a tab history is kept, just don't remember where or how to exercise it. Thanks

    Question
    How do I find my tab history? I had hard drive issues and when I launched my browser after getting it back their was no "restore session" option. I know a tab history is kept, just don't remember where or how to exercise it. Thanks

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • Anyone know how to change the default font for the new pages? Apparently it does not even come up when I search the 'Help' section of Pages. The level of incompetence in this new version seems breathtaking

    I cannot find how to change the default font in the new Pages. It does not appear in the Help area when I search for it. I am never sing Helvetica for my standard documents and cannot seem to change it. What am I missing? And why does Pages help not have an easy answer?
    dan

    You open a blank template and change the font to you liking. Remember to also get all the styles changed with new font. Then Save As Template. Now you have a template with the font you like.
