Process.Start fails on separate thread

I use Process.Start to open a URL in the user's browser.

When I call the function normally, it works fine. However, when I call it
from a separate thread, I get an error: "The requested section was not
present in the activation context".

The only C# newsgroup thread dealing with this error blames it on a Main
function that is missing the [STAThread] attribute - but my Main function
has this attribute.

What can I do to work around this?

your "separate" thread is not initialized for STA I guess.

Adding [STAThread] to all functions called by that thread doesn't fix the
problem. Is this what you mean by "initializing for STA"?

Any other suggestions?
