Cannot launch browser on Wnidows 2003

[LindaA]

The Windows message is "Windows cannot find <url>..."

This is an intermittent error.  Subsequent attempts do correctly launch the browser with the url.

Have you seen this behavior?  Is there a fix?  Can I get the source for BrowserLauncher2 1.0 rc4

///// code in use...
public void launchBrowser(String absoluteUrl)
  {
    if (m_browserLauncher == null)
    {
      try
      {
        m_browserLauncher = new BrowserLauncher(null);
        m_browserErrorhandler = new BrowserLauncherErrorHandler()
            {
              public void handleException(Exception ex)
              {
                displayBrowserLaunchError(ex);
              }
            };
      }
      catch (Exception e1)
      {
        displayBrowserLaunchError(e1);

        return;
      }
    }

    BrowserLauncherRunner runner = new BrowserLauncherRunner(m_browserLauncher,
        absoluteUrl, m_browserErrorhandler);
    Thread launcherThread = new Thread(runner);
    launcherThread.start();
  }

  private void displayBrowserLaunchError(Exception e)
  {
    ConfigManager.getMessagingUtil().showErrorMessage(Messages.getString(
        "Utilities.cant.launch.browser.message"), //$NON-NLS-1$
      e);
  }

No, we haven't seen this issue before. At least no one else has reported it.

Yes, the source is available in the -all- jar file.

Hi I am using the Browser Launcher application to launch the browser from my java application. the code is not working on Solaris 9 though Netscape is INSTALLED. 
Interestingly when I connect through XManager to that Solaris 9 machine its working. But directly in the machine it’s not working. The following stack trace is thrown.
What could be the reason?
