WinXP SP3
Outlook 2003, popmail
IE7

Whenever I click a weblink (launch) from within outlook mail message AND IE
explorer is not already open, I get 2 windows. Window 1 is the home page -
OK. Windows 2 is the URL of the weblink. This window 2 stays blank and "in
process".

What can I do to fix this?

If IE is already open, the windows 2 functions and opens the URL.

Thx

Diane,

I tried tip ... Try resetting Internet Explorer - from either IE's tools,
options menu or Control panel, Internet settings, go to the Programs tab and
click the button to reset web settings.

However, in my IE7 under programs, there is no "reset" button. Where should
I look to reset?


Thx
John

Brian,

I completed the reset and it still does not work.

Here is the scenario:

Outlook mail open.
IE7 not open
Select and open a weblink from within a message
2 IE7 windows launch
1 - Home page
2 - blank page with hour glass and no URL at the bottom (hangs)

To correct:
Outlook mail open
IE7 open at home page and/or other tabs
Select and open same weblink from within a message
A IE7 tab opens with weblink URL

Why does the first launch of IE7 from outlook not work?

Thx for your help

Have you tried rebuilding the open action for the HyperText Transfer Protocol
file type?
