I tried all and restarted and still not working. I don't think its the
default browser link because if I view a message as plain text I can click
on the links and they work. Its only when I view messages as HTML.

If I try to click or double click on a link within an HTML email it
does not open. It just shows the URL in the status bar but my browser
never opens. Is there any way to fix this?

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

3. Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following
message:

DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded.


4. If that doesn't fix it, see this article:

5. If you are using WinXP try this:

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page
after you select Auto-Select encoding

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for
WinXP).
Type oleaut32.dll, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file's location, which
is probably in the Win98 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation
CD-ROM (typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386
for WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32
for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) looks for the
file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has
been successfully extracted'.

You may need to reboot.
