Since upgrading Mozilla IE7 keeps stating it is NOT the default browser despite it being checked.
Mozilla and IE7 were working fine but since upgrading IE7 will not remain the default browser. Everytime I launch IE7 it states it is not the default browser. How do I resolve this issue.

If you click Start, Then Control Panel, and then Set program access and defaults, can you set your default browser in there? Try setting it to Firefox, then IE, and see if that helps. So I'm assuming it is IE you want as default right?

Do you have IE as the default, and then, when you open Firefox, do you have it set to check if it is the default?
To check it, Inside Firefox, click on Tools, then Options. Go to Advanced. Look at the Default Browser option in there. Make sure the Checkbox to always check if Firefox is the default is unchecked if you don't want to use Firefox as your default (If you want it as default, leave it checked).
Then, you can op[en up IE, and make it your default.
Tried that no difference, Firefox isn't check and IE is but yet I still get prompted to say IE7 isn't default browser.

You should update Internet Explorer to the latest version which is 8.
sorry I put in a typo it was IE8 not IE7, in any case my issue was resolved by setting the default browser to Mozilla and then putting it back to IE8.
