I am running XP SP2 Home Edition on a laptop. I setup OE to receive my
e-mail which it does. I have However, if I try to click on a link in an
e-mail I go nowhere.

I have gone into IE/internet options/advanced & un clicked "Always send
URL's as UTF-8.

I have also gone into OE and changed Options/security/ virus protection
from "Restricted sites zone" to "Internet zone".

The links work in IE.

This might be unrelated but, I get an error message sometimes which says
something like "This program needs to close while another program finishes
installing". I was not installing any other programs or downloading any
updates at the time. I have not yet discovered a pattern to this message.

If anyone can help me with this, I'd be beholdin' to you!
