Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for this information. I have been losing my
mind ready to throw this desktop out the window for suddenly refusing to
allow me to open links within my webmail. It seemed so random that it all of
a sudden did this. People keep telling me to stop installing the microsoft
updates???Not sure what to do anymore. I have no idea why this happened but I
am SOO SOO happy that I read your post. I have been searching and searching
and finally came across someone who appears to have had the same problem or
at least was able to give me the correct configuration! I realize that
sometimes it's the stupidest little click of the button but Oh so much the
most frustrating.
Thanks again.

I cannot open links embedded in emails when using outlook express 6.
I do not
receive any error messages at all when clicking on them. I click on
them and
nothing. I don't have any trouble opening file attachments, pictures
or
videos, just links to other web sites, pages or "mail to" links. Any
one have
this problem?
thanks RayS
