Are your Choices:Internet files locked?  Or does the directory not exist? 
Or is your disc locked?  Maybe some files have not copied from the RISC OS

Er, yes.  The Browse/RisCafe installer could well do that.

I would suggest adding:

!System.310.Modules.Network.URI (file)
!System.310.Modules.Network.URL (directory - all of it)

Try opening the '!Installer' (from the Browse/RisCafe CD) up with something
like SparkFS and copy the required files manually.  Or try the same with
the newer modules available in the update - http://www.acorn.com/browser
