Outlook 2007 won't open hyperlinks...
SP1 automatically installed yesterday for Outlook 2007, and I now get
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" whenever I try to click a hyperlink. I Googled this problem and tried: Resetting IE Resetting IE via Access Defaults Importing new reg key for HKLM/Software.../htmlfile I'm out of tricks. Does anyone know of anything else I can do? It's infuriating that Microsoft released an update that completely screws with the way I work. My inclination is uninstall SP1 - but then who knows what other problems that might cause. Anyone know anything I can do? Thanks. |

It's probably the windows updates causing it, but its very isolated,
possibly related to specific software you have installed. Did they reboot the system? Try resetting web settings (in internet options) again then reboot. It's worth checking the windows newsgroups to see if they have other ideas. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "mobamoba" wrote in message ...

I am using Outlook 2003 with Windows XP and have begun to have the same
problem. My default browser is Maxthon and I never had this problem before. I tried the solutions in KB article 310049, including resetting IE as the default browser, all to no avail. Any ideas?

Outlook 2007 won't open hyperlinks...
Forgive me for "piling on" but the message board won't let me start a new
thread. My problems are similar but worse -- when the hyperlinks stop to function, the ability to open Word or Excel documents via icon goes with it. Here is a full recounting (below). The problem is intermittent but does seem to happen after i come in and my computer has updated from Microsoft. It's driving me crazy. I'm about to be forced to find alternatives to word and excel because of the lost productivity of constantly having to open the programs and browse to the documents and/or having to cut and paste hyperlinks into IE. I am at my wits' end!!! (Post from another forum 12/12 below. I've since made other changes -- just to get it to work -- install/uninstall google desktop, back to using just Macafee, install/uninstall mozilla. It's been broken for 3 days now and none of my tricks work. Glarysoft says the registry is fine. I GIVE UP!!! PLEASE HELP!!) ***************** Problem with Default Programs & File Associations by laurel - 12/12/07 11:59 AM I have searched threads but can't find a situation like the one I'm experiencing. It's driving me crazy and I hope you can help. The computer was recently reformatted and everything reinstalled. This problem developed almost immediately after programs were reloaded, but I was having some similar trouble even before the reformat -- just not as continual. System and program data: AMD Dual Core 4200 Processor, 2 gigs high-speed ram, NVIDA video card, two monitor array XP Pro with SP2 IE7 (see below also IE6 and Firefox) Google toolbar installed Office 2007 for Small Businesses ("my documents" reside on the D drive; programs on the C drive) Spyware Doctor with Antivirus (see below, also Avast) (Now Macafee) Problems: 1. URL hyperlinks in Outlook 2007 will suddenly stop responding properly. If the page does eventually open it's very slow. Sometimes, but not always,a bit later an error of "general failure URL XXX, an error occurred sending the command to the program" (not 100% positive of the exact language there). Cutting and pasting the URL into an open IE browser window works fine and rapidly. 2. When the URLs begin to act up, at the same time I lose the ability to open any WORD and Excel documents by double-clicking the icons. I can open WORD or Excel, browse for the document from within and it opens properly. What I've tried: 1. Uninstalling IE7, running IE6, reinstalling IE7 2. Installing Firefox and also uninstalling Firefox 3. Office diagnostics (no problems reported). 4. Repairing Office 5. Created a "test" user to see if the user settings were somehow corrupted (test user had same problems) 6. Control Panel/Add Remove/Set Defaults 7. File associations in Folder Options (unchecked DDE and rechecked -- made no difference). 8. Easy Cleaner for registry problems. 9. Glarysoft for registry problems. What happens when I try changing the web browser defaults and/or version: 1. The file associations and urls will begin to work properly. It will last anywhere from 10 minutes to maybe a day or two. Then they revert to erratic/nonfunctioning behavior until I try some or all of the above again. 2. Setting the defaults in the Control Panel only worked once. The rest of the time, it goes nonresponsive when applying changes. (once I walked away and it stayed with the hourglass overnight, totally nonresponsive) 3. Resetting IE to be the default browswer in the IE tools/internet options will go nonresponsive as well. 4. If I install Firefox, make it the default, then uninstall it, that will get everything working as a rule for a short period of time as well. When I uninstall IE7 and roll back to IE6, it works for a bit and then reverts. (neither of these tricks work anymore) 5. I thought it might be Spyware Doctor and popups somehow, so I uninstalled it and installed Avast. Made no difference. (now using Macafee) I am at a complete and total loss. All the file associations look appropriate, the paths look correct. Restore points don't seem to affect the problem. Please let me know if I have not provided complete information or haven't been clear in the description. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me!

Outlook 2007 won't open hyperlinks...
Same problem here--possibly caused after I upgraded Firefox to version
3beta4. I changed the default browser in 'set program access and defaults' to IE7 instead of Firefox and I found that I could open the hyper link from Outlook 2007. Seems to work now, so hopefully problem fixed! When Firefox releases version 3 again hopefully this problem will be rectified. Hope this information will help others having the same problem.
