Topic 193098

I'm very new to this, and I can't seem to figure out how to fix this problem. When I'm in the advanced view and I try to access one of the web sites such as 'common questions' or 'screensaver info' I keep getting the error message:

"BOINC Manager tried to display the web page (whatever URL I'm trying to access) but couldn't find a web browser. To fix this, set the environmental variable BROWSER to the path of your web browser then restart the BOINC Manager."

I've been scanning the threads trying to find a similar problem but can't find anything.

Any help?

Set up the browser of your choice as the default browser in Windows.
See this FAQ on how to do this.

Awesome, thanks. I actually

Awesome, thanks. I actually tried that first but must've missed something, it's working properly now.
