Dreamweaver CS3: F12 doesn't open websites

[adamf]

We seem to have a problem with Dreamweaver and viewing the websites in IE. Normally you press F12 to open the website in your default browser, which in our case is IE.

 

Now when the pupils press F12 it opens IE, but loads their homepage (which is google.co.uk) instead of the site they are working on in Dreamweaver.

 

There is nothing in the html code that should be causing this.

 

Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening?

I assume you've gone to File>Preview in Browser>Edit Browser List and selected the correct version of IE? I've just checked mine and its still set to IE7, which doesn't exist on my machine any more.

We only have one browser installed on the machines.

I'd assume your test server isn't running. Unless DW changed recently, it basically creates a mini webserver for previewing, if that's not running I guess it wouldn't access it.
