The object does not support the browseforfolder property or method: how do I fix it?

The problem of an error with a notification that the object does not support the property or the Browseforfolder method causes genuine indignation among users who access the VTB-24 client-bank using a browser. In other banking online products or when accessing Internet resources, such failures are not observed. So why then when you try to enter your account, the error "Object does not support the property or the Browseforfolder method" is issued (IE - Internet Explorer is used as the default default browser)? For the reasons for the occurrence of such a malfunction and how to eliminate it, read on. The method of eliminating this problem can be used in other cases, if it did appear.

The object does not support the property or the Browseforfolder method: what is this error?

First of all, it's worth paying attention to the fact that the resource itself (the server) to which it connects from the user's computer sometimes has the property of being rendered inoperative.

Suppose a user sees an error "The object does not support the property or the Browseforfolder method, OK presses it, but it does not give any effect. What does this mean? Yes, only that the true cause of the failure is just not in the server, but in the settings of the user's system and IE browser settings.

How to fix?

In the event that the "Object does not support a property or the Browseforfolder method" error appears, how do I fix the situation so that I do not have to worry about changing settings? You can simply change the browser and try to enter the bank resource using it.

But the trouble is: it turns out that the work of VTB-24 client-bank does not support all modifications of reviewers, let alone that it does not work with all of them correctly even with the declared full support.

Steps when starting the browser

But back to the "native" browser IE IE, which is available in any modification and accompanying problems not only of banking, but of other resources and services on the Internet. If the user does not want to refuse to use IE at all, or in other browsers there is no access to the resource, you will have to perform some simple actions, which very often allow you to eliminate the reason for the message that the object does not support the property or the Browseforfolder method. What to do in this case?

First of all it is strongly recommended to visit the official Microsoft website and download the latest version of the browser from it based on the architecture of the installed system (you can find it in the Downloads section).

After installation, the default settings can not be changed, but simply run the browser as administrator (this applies to Windows 7 and above). The start menu is called through the right click on the program icon. Perhaps it was the start without administrator rights that caused the notification that the object does not support the property or the Browseforfolder method.

Installing the .NET Framework

On the other hand, the above situation may not be the cause of the failure. Another big problem is that many programs and sites specify: for correct access, the .NET Framework version must be at least 3.5.

On some computers, the update in the system can be disabled, so it is advisable to install the platform yourself, again before downloading the installation distribution from the Microsoft resource. By the way, it's better not to install version 3.5, but immediately to find there the fourth update or release 4.5.

Setting the correct Internet Explorer settings

Now a few words about fixing the "The object does not support the Browseforfolder property or method" means of the browser, if all of the above did not work properly.

In this case, the user will need to access the properties of the browser from the Control Panel, select the security tab in the settings window, go to the trusted sites, and enter the full address of the resource in the list.

Security and the use of ActiveX components

If, after changing the settings, a message is received that the object does not support the property or the Browseforfolder method, you must lower the security level by moving the fader (slider) to the lowest position.

On the privacy tab, you also need to remove the check box from the pop-up blocker field.

After that, on the same security tab just below and to the right, you need to click the level button "Other ...", and then in a new window find the line for allowing the use of ActiveX parameters by approved domains and execute the resolution with the corresponding button.

Along the way, as an option, you can also set the resolution for domains marked as safe. In most cases this helps.

Yes, and one more thing. As an additional tool, you can download the latest JAVA platform and integrate it into the system.

If none of this works, you can perform a full reset of the browser settings. And remember that when trying to enter the system "VTB-24" will offer to install special software in the form of a protective cryptographic module, with which you must agree without fail.

Removing malformed scripts

Finally, another reason for the inability to access online banking can be that the system has inefficient dynamic libraries of the operating system itself.

In the simplest case, they can be identified using the command console, run as an administrator, in which the sfc / scannow command is written. On the other hand, you can try to update them or install underloaded or corrupted objects using the specially developed DLL Suite utility.

If the downloaded or updated components of the system are still ineffective, it may be possible to force some of them to be deleted. First you need to go to the root directory of the system and select the directory System32.

Now attention !!! In it, the following files are deleted:

• MessagePRO Class;
• Mespro.sig;
• Mespro.dll;
• Mesproax.dll.

After the removal of the selected components is mandatory, the computer system must be completely rebooted, after which you can try again to enter the online banking system or another failed resource.

Note: this technique is proposed as the latest tool, so the user will have to do this at his own risk. Even specialists to solve problems of this type do not give absolutely no guarantee that after that, banking will work, and (worse) the system will load in normal mode. So be careful and attentive.

Instead of an afterword

Here, in fact, and all that concerns the correction of such an unpleasant failure regarding VTB-24 or any other resources. As many experts note, this problem in most cases concerns this particular system, although it is very likely that it can also occur when accessing other sites and their services. It is impossible to say at once what exactly the problem is and what was the root cause of its appearance. Therefore, you will have to perform the actions in the order given above (from the simplest to the most complex). In the end, it is with respect to the online service of this bank that at least one of the above methods should help without fail.

And if nothing at all gives a proper effect on correcting the situation, the user will have nothing else to do but to contact the support service or at least use the services of an online consultant directly on some site. As mentioned above, it may very well be that the failure has occurred and not through the fault of the user and the settings of his system. But, in order not to deal with IE settings or delete libraries (which is not always safe), it is better to specify which browser is best used instead of IE. This, as noted by many users, is the simplest solution.
