That's very cool. I didn't know about the autocomplete pref flag.

Yeah, that'd be nice. I don't think we should fire off a browser to a support page at DQSD startup, considering dial-up users, though. The thing is, the fact that gowidth is undefined doesn't really mean anything in itself, it's just a symptom of: - IE is not the default browser - Bad preferences - IE history needs to be cleaned - Something else and it's pretty hard to guess and diagnose. But I guess popping a general error with some overall description is better than setting gowidth to a default value, since, presumably, not much will work anyhow.
