"Windows Cannot Find Program.exe" Error Accessing Web Page

ID: Q189583


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 98


SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to view an Internet or intranet Web page, you may receive the following error message:

Program not found, Windows cannot find Program.exe. This program is needed for opening files of type 'URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol'.


CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you are using the Network TeleSystems TCP Pro TCP/IP network protocol. This protocol does not cause the Internet Connection wizard to start automatically the first time you try to access a Web page. One of the Internet Connection wizard's functions is to associate documents written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) with your Web browser.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, run the Internet Connection wizard manually. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type inetwiz in the Open box, and then click OK.


  2. Follow the instructions on the screen.



STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this behavior is not caused by a problem in Windows 98, but may be caused by design changes in Windows 98. For more information about resolving this issue, contact the program's manufacturer.
