which browser you have selected? do you have installed any browser other than IE?
Are you able to open the site directly through browser?

I have IE on my computer. I do not have installed any browser.
Yes, I can open mecury toure site thorugh IE.
Even while recording this mecury tour site open but at the background I get that error too.
Thanks,
Hema

Hema -
A screenshot of the error alongwith QTP and IE In the background will help us imagine.

Try reinstalling QTP. BTW which OS you are working on? If you're using Vista then the User Access Control (UAC) must be disabled for your user account. this allows QTP to perform recording process.

Hema -
Go to the expert view, enter this code,

SystemUtil.Run "Iexplore.exe", "www.google.com"

Let me know if you get the same error message.

Is it IE8 by any chance ?

I will suggest first try with as suggested by Basanth,

There are several ways for diabling UAC on Vista. Try to find it on google, you will get lots of info on that.
you can try one from control panel
1.Open Control Panel.
2.Under User Account and Family settings click on the "Add or remove user account".
3.Click on one of the user accounts, for example you can use the Guest account.
4.Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
5.Under "Make changes to your user account" click on the "Change security settings" link.
6.In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
7.You will be prompted to reboot your computer. Do so when ready.
