Hi nospam

You don't mention which version of Windows you have, but, try the following
and see if it helps:

Courtesy of Don Varnau -

"Firefox> Tools> Options> General> Default browser> click the "Check now"
button and select "no."

IE> Tools> Internet Options> Programs> check the box "IE should check
whether it is the default browser" The next time IE asks, answer yes.

Also (Windows XP) Control Panel> Add or remove programs> Set program access
and defaults> Working with either Microsoft or Custom, enable access to IE
and make it the default browser."

also .....

Set the default browser for your user profile:

Hope this helps.
