I just tried (and re-tried) EVERYTHING you said in this email and I
still have a problem. When I click on a hyperlink in IE, everything
works great. If I copy the link and insert it in either Google or IE,
it comes right up. If I click on a hyperlink in an OE message, I get
a lot of disk activity but nothing happens.
