I scrapped Chrome and moved to FF. All book marked sites work save one. However this works on the same machine using Chrome. It also works on another machine which has FF installed. The problem must lie with a config file on this machine. I have tried re-setting FF - no change. Stumped!

The message presented is as follows:-

Server Error in '/' Application. Input string was not in a correct format. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Hi I went on the MS site and saw KB article about using aspnet_regiis -ir to install ASP.NET (again) but that didn't work. I then looked at Private New Tab and it worked - I managed to get on to the website. But it still doesn't work going in the regular way. Hope this helps someone to explain what to do. Mouson

Please post the web link. Also, open that bookmark properties and make sure the link is not corrupted. You can also try to create a new bookmark after going to the site manually.

Hi FredMcD - Thanks, Bookmark: http://www.royalautomobileclub.co.uk/index.asp Direct: http://www.royalautomobileclub.co.uk/index.asp

Both ways do not work on this machine But same Direct Entry into another browser on this machine or another machine works.

An addition puzzle is that by saying "open as a private window" works... I have gone to the site as a "private window" opened the site successfully and book marked the page. But after closing and trying to reopen I get the same error.

Hi Fred McD - Thanks very much - all working normally now. It is a beautiful building, the last exhuberent display of the Edwardian era - built before the Great War in an epoch that is so different to this... A lot of French influence, one of the architects was in fact French - maybe the most exciting things come out of Anglo-French cooperation... Concorde, The Tunnel and so on... Thanks again. Mouson.
