  The SAP error message "I18N_OV000 Browser started..." typically relates to issues with the Internationalization (I18N) settings or configurations in SAP, particularly when dealing with web-based applications or services. This message often indicates that the system is attempting to launch a browser for a specific task, but it may encounter issues that prevent it from doing so successfully.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Browser Configuration Issues: The default web browser may not be set correctly in the SAP system or may not be compatible with the SAP application.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity problems that prevent the browser from launching or accessing the required resources.
  SAP GUI Settings: The SAP GUI settings may not be configured to allow the browser to open correctly.
  Missing or Incorrect MIME Types: The MIME types required for the application may not be configured correctly in the SAP system.
  Security Settings: Security settings in the browser or SAP may prevent the browser from launching or accessing certain URLs.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Browser Settings:
  
  Ensure that the default web browser is correctly set in the SAP GUI settings.
  Verify that the browser is compatible with the SAP application you are using.
