The clicking of Internet Explorer on refresh is a Sounds preference in Windows. Just change 'Start Navigation' and 'Complete Navigation' to (None) and it'll stay quiet.

The browser all versions of Bet Angel uses is Internet Explorer, so if you have problems browsing from the desktop in Bet Angel the first thing to check is if you can view the web page/s you're looking for using IE, if not then you may need to update or install the latest version of Internet Explorer.

Once you are able to browse using Internet Explorer then you should be able to do so through the Bet Angel desktop.

weirdly, i've never used (or considered using) the inbuilt browser control. not because of any aversion, just that i have everything on a VM purely dedicated to the processing of BA rules etc, so only ever check the forum on my laptop locally.. could be useful, i guess in rare instances (in my experience)

How come it doesn't use your default browser?

.net (visual studio) uses a webrwser control that is based on the m$ stack - i.e. it's a thin veneer over the top of the IE internals...

The embedded browser control is just there for a bit of convenience to quickly check the forum etc. It’s a .NET control that just wraps Internet Explorer. We always encourage people to use external browsers for viewing third party web sites to keep Bet Angel running as efficiently as possible. Much better to let Windows manage the resources of the browser (allowing you to kill the task if necessary) than cramming it into Bet Angel’s memory allocation and borrowing its user interface thread.
I’d dread to think what an embedded Chrome browser would do - the normal desktop version is such a memory hog!

It's pointing to an HTTP and not an HTTPS
