Trouble launching Internet Explorer

For the last week I haven't been able to launch Internet Explorer. I can get on the internet through Safari, so the problem is not with my internet connection. I've tried trashing the program and re-installing with no success.

I don't know why I wandered onto this forum, I posted on the Tiger forum Geeting on line and Networking.

It's microsoft up to its tricks. Either disconnect the computer from the Internet and reset the home page from preferences in IE or do as suggested in the links.

Launching Internet Explorer

I am trying to launch internet explorer from a java program using -
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\path for IE.exe")
This works OK if I enter the correct path in the above statement as a string literal.
However the program generates a html file that I wish to view with IE.
So in my program code I have something like -
String fileName = file.getName()
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(fileName)
Unfortuneately IE will not launch with this code - does anyone know why ?
Regards
Scott

replace filename with ---> cmd.exe /c start iexplore
filename <---in the runtime method call....I have tried this but no joy. I am unsure how to format the command in the runtime method call and this is probably why its not working.
Do I need to do something like ("cmd.exe /c start iexplore" + fileName)

Launch Internet Explorer

Hi,
I have to launch MS Internet Explorer from my java application. I am using the following code:
try{
     Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
     rt.exec("iexplore.exe www.yahoo.com");
}catch(IOException ioe){
     System.out.println(ioe);
}But its generating an exception as below:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "iexplore.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified.
If I give the absolute path then it executes successfully.Like
try{
     Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
     rt.exec("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe www.yahoo.com");
}catch(IOException ioe){
     System.out.println(ioe);
}Now the problem is that I can't give the absolute path because window may be installed on drive "D:\\". What I wanted is to get the "Program Files" path and then launch "IEXPLORE.EXE".
Any solution.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Ahmad Jalil Qarshi

Try with
    String[] commands = {"cmd", "/c", "start", "iexplore.exe","-nohome", "www.yahoo.com"};
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);If using jdk1.6 then the Desktop class is the preferred way to start the default browser.
See http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html
try {
   Desktop.browse(new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
   e1.printStackTrace();
catch (DesktopException e2) {
   e2.printStackTrace();

To launch Internet Explorer on button click.

Hello friends
I want to open Internet Explorer with a html file on button click. The html file will contain some report data in html format which I want to show to the user on button click.
Please help me in doing this.

Maybe you're looking for a faster solution than Joni's thread. I just made this for an Info Screen, maybe it helps:
// lunch the Browser and view the HTML file
public void openBrowserWith (String aHtmlLocation) {
     try {
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec(getExplorerPath() + " " + aHtmlLocation);
     catch (Exception e) {}
// this method should return the program path of your own browser; it needn't be as hard-coded as I did:
public String getExplorerPath() {
     return "c:\\program files\\plus!\\Microsoft Internet\\iexplore.exe"
// I think you know how to add a JButton and a ActionListener to your application; thus, we only need to implement the actionPerformed method:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     String command = e.getActionCommand();
     if ("OK".equals(command))
          openBrowserWith(getHtmlLocation());
public String getHtmlLocation {
     return "http://" or "file://" and "the path where your HTML file is";
}

Launch Internet Explorer using button click

Hello friends
I want that on click of a button Internet Explorer opens with an html file. Actually the file which opens is a report which I want to show to the user.
Please help me in doing this.

you could try doing something like this in your button click handler
String command = "c:\\program files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe c:\yourfile.html"
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRunTime();
rt.exec(command);

Trouble with Internet Explorer 6, 7 and maybe 8

Hi everyone! I have been trying to get this page to display properly in I.E 6,7 and probably 8. It displays perfectly on my Mac OSX in firefox but did a test in browsershots.org and the last div is displaying incorrectly. I hope somebody can point me in the right direction...I cant seem to make it work...thanks to all!

Try pasting this code into a new blank HTML page. Note: I added some background colors to make text visible and increased #wrapper and #header width from 770 to 800px because your #maincontent width is 780. Also, you had a few float and div/paragraph nesting problems. This should work well in IE, Mozilla and WebKit.

Launching Internet explorer after install finishes

I find that after installing from IE8 the installer launches the browser again using the same Administrator privileges that the installer requested with UAC. I'm not sure this is in the best interest of the user.

I think this is primarily to demonstrate that Flash installed correctly, or didn't as the case may be. If you're logged on as Adminstrator, then that modus operandi will prevail.
You could try logging in with a user a/c with less priviliges and then right click the installation file and choose "Run As Administrator", but I can't guarantee it'll work.

Launch Internet Explorer from PDF instead default browser chrome

Hi
I want to launch IE Browser from PDF links rather than any default browser like chrome etc.
Is there a specific way that PDF links can be create for above requirement?
Thanks

Not possible. URLs are delegated to the OS which does with them what it's
set up to do.
The link itself (and Acrobat/Reader in general) has no way of interfering
with that.

FireFox upgraded automatically today and since then I can't launche it...it freezes up and I have to shut it off at the computer...I can access Internet Explorer

FireFox automatically upgraded today. When I try to launche it, it only loads about half the page. (I use Google as my home page) It just gets stuck there. I try to close out the page and I get "this program is not responding". I can launche Internet Explorer with no problem, (I much prefer using FF, but if I can't get into it...) so it has to be something with FireFox. FF freezes, so I end up having to shut of my computer AT the computer, because it won't shut off at the desktop monitor. Windows asks me to send a report and I have. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but my Norton antivirus prevented a plugin from happening...I don't really understand it all...
I just tried to open my home page again and got the message way up at the top of the page " Mozilla FireFox (not responding)

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

How do I automatically connect to my ISP when I launch Firefox like Internet Explorer does (Firefox is set as my default browser)?

When Microsoft Internet Explorer was my browser the dial-up connection screen to my internet service provider would come up automatically when I launched the browser.
Now that I have made Mozilla Firefox my default browser this no longer happens. Launching Firefox results in an error message which says the website cannot be found. I then have to launch Internet Explorer, connect to my ISP, close Internet Explorer, then launch Firefox.
This is a bit tedious. Can Firefox perform the same connect to ISP action automatically just like Internet Explorer does? If so, how do I activate this?
Thanks

Enable button in File Toolbar when launching in Internet Explorer

I have an installation of Acrobat Reader 8 installed using an MST file on several Citrix Servers. Also a hidemenu.js file is configured to show /hide some specific items.
When I open a PDF file all the items are showed/ hide as configured in the hidemenu.js file. So far so good
When launching Internet Explorer and open a pdf file in the browser some buttons are missing. We need the E-mail button from the File Toolbar by default. This button is there when I open the application outside Internet Explorer. The user can enable the E-mail option using the File Toolbar, but this setting is reset when the user has logged of.
Can somebody please explain how to enable this option (or any other option from the File Toolbar) when open a pdf file in Internet Explorer by default?

Hi,
In the screen which shows you the dump, you will have a button debugger. Click on that and find out the field that is passed to 'obj'. It should be of character type and it is passed as Packed Integer in your report. Change the data type to 'C' and check it.

Sharmila

Internet Explorer immediately launches when try to open the desktop from the Start screen

When I log onto my computer, instead of the Start screen opening, the Desktop opens, AND when the Desktop opens, Internet Explorer immediately launches there.
Other times, when I log-on, my computer will open on the Start screen, but then immediately launches Internet Explorer on the Start screen. I didn't click any Internet Explorer icons."
Also, when I am doing something on the Start screen and decide I want to go to the Desktop and I click the "Desktop tile" it switches me to the Desktop and launches Internet Explorer. Again, I didn't click the Internet Explorer tile.
(I just wanted to go to the blank Desktop.)
There is something telling my computer to always open Internet Explorer first. When I tried a warm boot, the problem went away momentarily, but returned after a few days"

Hi,
What is your current situation?
Have you checked the suggestions by Robert?
When opening PC the start menu will automatically start Internet Explorer in APP mode, and if we set Internet Explorer to open in desktop mode, then it will automatically open under desktop when start?
As we have no Internet Explorer in startup configured, so it won't start by itself. We may try to replace Internet Explorer item's position on the start menu with a different APP, then check what happens(drag and drop the desktop icon on the place of the
Internet Explorer);
Is the MSN webpage your home page here? If not, then there might be some application on the startup automatically launches this page, we may take a try to disable one at a time to check; and if this is your default home page, try to replace it with another
one, then change it back.
From the last response of
this thread , it seems this is more related with the webpage than the browser?
Best regards

Tiger and Internet Explorer 5

Hi, Whenever I launch Internet Explorer 5 for Mac OS X, I sometimes have a little trouble in using the download contextual function. It takes a lot of wiggling around before the contextual menu appears. When I download images to disk I get a full thumbnail in my Documents Folder. But when I transfer these OSX thumbnails to MacOS 9.2.2 the thumbnails are not complete. Some show only half of the bottom of the thumbnail others show the side of the thumbnail, etc., etc.
1) While using Tiger how can I get Internet Explorer 5 for OS X to stop
quitting and freezing so much?
2) While using MacOS 9.2.2 how can I get the complete thumbnail transfered over
from Tiger?
Angel

I think IE is starting to show its age. It is no longer written for Macs and as the OS changes with updates and upgrades IE falls behind. Probably if you went back to using Panther or whatever was the current version of OSX when IE came out it would go back to behaving. Or maybe it is having problems iwth the newer version of Quicktime. Your best bet will be to find another browser that is more current. I use Firefox as my main browser.

RWB and internet explorer 7

Hi.
Im having trouble getting internet explorer 7 and the RWB to work together.
Errors popping up are like these:
'ur_txt' is undefined
Object expected
'_htmlbMessageBar' is undefined
Is it possible at all to run RWB with IE7 or do I have to reinstall an older version.
A fix would be prefered
Regards Peter

Hi Peter,
If you need to get IE7.0 supported on SP lower than 19 (NW04) or 10 (NW04S), use this note: 991449
If an earlier version of Web Dynpro is used, there are two possibilities
     to enable IE7 for Web Dynpro. The two possibilities will be discussed in
     the following:
         o Change configuration of supported clients:
            ==========================================
            Open Visual Administrator. On the relevant server instance,
            navigate to "Services -> Configuration Adapter". In the detail
            view, a tree becomes visible. Navigate to "webdynpro -> sap.com
            -> tcwddispwda -> "Propertysheet clients". Open this
            propertysheet in edit mode by pressing the "Edit" button on the
            toolbar. Change following two properties in the propertysheet
            wizard:
            - property "clienttypes":
               default value is: "msie6|op6|msie5|ns7|safari|java|win|ecatt"
                                                                       Page 2
               change value to: "op6|msie5|msie6|ns7|safari|java|win|ecatt"
            - property "msie6.recognition":
               default value is: "MSIE 6."
               change value to: "MSIE"
            Having done this, close the wizard and press again the "Edit"
            button to save the changes. Afterwards, a restart of the engine
            is required in order to make these changes effective. The Web
            Dynpro runtime should then be able to allow the usage of
            Microsoft IE7 as browsers.
Hope this helps, if not upgrade to the supported support packs.
Thanks,
Van Vi
