Again, looking for a web site from my autorun

[MarioSanchez]

Hi guys,

I have created a CD that runs very well, most of the time. I decided to include most of the necessary ‘pages’ from my web site as PDF’s, to avoid the need of having an internet connection. Still, there is a link that I decided to leave in that will bring potential clients to my website. It works just fine in 9 out of ten PCs (either desktops or laptops) and then there is the one that gives me this message

1004

“The operating system denied access to the specified file”

And this is from a computer that can go to my web site from any of the several installed browsers.

Is there a setting that is blocking the ability of the hyperlink to ‘jump’ to my website? What should I say to my clients when this happens? What do you guys suggest?

Thanks in advance.

Mario

I assume that AMS would make a call the windows Run-Time function:

Which really does not give you a full answer.

I dare say it would be related to the firewall setup/settings on the PC you are running the project on. If the setup on the problem PC is set to disallow internet access by default you will get such errors. Sure IE/Firefox will be allowed already because the firewall is allow that access but a new program may be blocked.

After thinking about it, you are right, the machine that I was talking about has a list of 'permissible' programs.

Thanks again.
