If still no joy:

Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to Internet

If it still is not resolved, for IE6 & IE7:

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet
Shortcut) and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome (Check the
path to
iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.
Hi Bruce, that did the trick, sure appreciate the help. It sure was
annoying.

Thanks
Terry
I too had the same problem and I followed your advise, but windows reset itself,
I went back and unchecked DDE, now it works better, thank you, but I still
cannot open links from this site and a couple of others, I cannot figure out
why I can open some links just fine and others do not work, if you have any
other ideas I would appreciate it. I can only open replies from this site by
going to my favourites folder and then searching the site for the answer to
my question. I added microsoft to my trusted sites, now I am not sure if it
is my new norton internet security 2009 blocking it, do not know much about
computers so I am at a loss.It worked fine before.
