Hi,

I am having a problem with my Visual web developer install. When I click View in Browser to view my files in documents, I get the following error message.

How do I solve this problem please?

Are you using Vista? I would venture you are. You need to modify the hosts file add an extra : in the default line, check out this post for more information

Already checked that and that does not seem to be the problem

Hi,

Please try to clear the Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages check box (Tool -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> Browsing section -> clear the Show friendly HTTP error messages check box -> OK ) and to see exact error message.

What type is your ASP.NET website, Http-Based or FileSystem-Based? If it is FileSystem-Based (using ASP.NET Development server), to better understand your issue, please confirm the following information:

If we create another type project, does it have same issue? We need to narrow down the cause of this issue.

Did you install any antivirus software which could prevent Asp.Net Development Server? If so, you can try to reconfigure your antivirus software. You can refer to http://forums.asp.net/t/1235447.aspx

I look forward to receiving your test results.
