Can't start web browser (FP2003 upgrade)

[SallyOH]

Just upgraded to FP2003. When I attempt to view a page in a Browser, I get a
message box stating "Can't start web browser for HTML files. Look at the Edit
Browser List dialog and make sure the browser is specified correctly." If the
Edit Browser List dialog is the Authoring tab on the Page Options, I did set
that up to target both Explorer and Navigator, and I chose Schema as
Navigator 4.0/Explorer 4.0 -- saved, etc. I still can't get a page to preview
in a broswer. Can somebody tell me what I am missing here?

Do you have a browser set as the "Default browser"
This is not a FrontPage setting by the way.
It's a prompt you get when you open a browser.

The "Edit Browser List" dialogue in FrontPage is at
File->Preview in Browser->Edit Browser List

Thanks Steve and Ron . . . I did have a default browser selected. When I
deselected Sharepoint Services on the Authoring tab of Page Options, the
Preview in Browser function worked. All is well -- so far. Now I wonder why
after i synchronize my files from local to remote, they still show up as
Unmatched??

Do a full Publish from whichever site is most current (remote to local, or
local to remote).
