Its all HTML messages in HTML format that don't work. I have OE set to
view messages in text mode. If I click on those links they work. As soon
as I choose from the menu View-Message as HTML the links stop working.
Also if I try and use regular Outlook on that same machine the links DO work
when viewing in HTML.

I followed all those KB's and it still does not work.

Is the problem with all HTML messages or just some? If just some, it
could be a bad link in the HTML.

If you are using a Pop-up Ad blocker program, check its documentation to
see if it is blocking the opening of a new web browser and how to
workaround that.

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?

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

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:

http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/26.html

5. If you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE...lt_Browser.reg

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web
page after you select Auto-Select encoding
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870863

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.
