strange...maybe problem in browser itself, have you tried to reinstall browser or have you tried to set IE as default browser and check if urls works?

meanwhile, i'm not sure it is only gues, but do check next. (i don't have eng. Windows so titles may be a bit different)
Start --> Programs by defaul
or Control Panel --> Programs by default
and then look on screenshots ( i have Maxthon as default)

next

[viper]

ok i have fixed the probblem

however i have not been able to pin point the cuase off the problem

i uninstalled Google chrome and set IE as my default browser

then using this as a basic skin

Code: Select all

[button1]
Meter=Image
W=50
H=50
SolidColor=0,255,0,255
[meter]
meter=button
meterstyle=button1
LeftMouseUpAction=["http://www.google.co.uk"]

and it opened Google using IE (currently set as my default browser)

i then downloaded the standard chrome setup file....made it my default browser and again used the above skin

this then executed command which then opened Google Chrome at http://www.google.co.uk

to make sure there wasnt a problem with the alternate Google Chrome setup ( the ChromeStandaloneSetup)

i unistalled google chrome and reinstalled the Alternate google Chrome...made it my defualt and again ran the above skin .....


to my suprise it worked this time so the problem has been fixed not sure why it didnt wont to work before... the only difference from when it was working to when it stopped is when i update rainmeter from 2.2 to 2.3 i may look into this a potential problem but for now thank you all for your help
