What would cause a link in an E-mail message not to be "live"? I receive
lots of E-mails containing Web URLs. But when I click on them, the only thing that happens is that a tone plays, and the link changes color. But no browser window opens. I can cut-and-paste the link into a browser, and it works fine. I just can't click on it. ------------------------------ Frank D. Nicodem, Jr. |

For IE7:
I have never heard of a tone being played. This is the only info I have for links not worling. Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults | Browser: IE /must/ be chosen here if you're running IE7 and want such links to work. Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to Internet Explorer 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929867 If still no joy, for IE6 & IE7: From: http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm 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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Frank D. Nicodem, Jr." wrote in message ... What would cause a link in an E-mail message not to be "live"?
