Apologies if this is a repeated topic, but I can't find anything using the search tool on here. but I get the above message whenever I start mp3tag or if I use certain of the TAG Sources (Discogs for example) I'm running on Windows 7 (yeah I know!)
does anyone know how I resolve this?
edit ..
I use Chrome as my browser .. I think that may be the problem, if I set Internet explorer as default I no longer get the message!

see e.g. here:

or this one:

> I'm trying to use the help file [F1] and it bugs me about that I'm not having a decent browser. I'm running the Avant Browser ([http://www.avantbrowser.com](http://www.avantbrowser.com)) as standardbrowser. It's only a IE skin (I think) so could it be possible to open the help file in this browser? Or perhaps Mp3tag could suggest me to open the file in IE instead?
