Can't find server?

Question

   From VB 2005 start page,I click on "Connect with the Community", then Document Explorer opens,but it can't find a server, that is to say , it can't be connected to the internet. This problem doesn't happen before,but it does after I install VC++ 2005 Express Edition.Connection of my computer to Internet is OK!
   Waiting for help! Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi David,

The "Connect to the Community" link should open an instance of Document Explorer's web browser and try to load a link.  Does the error you're seeing appear in a dialog or is it in the resulting web page?  Is it possible to copy the link and try it in IE as a test?

Thanks!

Answer 2

OK.
This error appears in the resulting web page. If I copy the link and try it in IE , everything is OK! I wanner tell u in detail:
   First, I install VS 2005 Beta 1 express Edition.Then,it's uninstalled and I install
VB 2005 Express Edition Beta2.At this moment,it works OK . But after I installed VC 2005 Express Edition Beta 2, this problem appeared.
   I don't know why ,so I formatted my computer and reinstalled VB and VC beta 2 and the problem disappeared.
   Thanks for ur patience!

David,

I'm glad your system is working for you again, and thanks for the details on your problem.

It sounds like some remnants of the Beta 1 were causing the issue.

Thanks,
