Hi; I have Windows XP & use outlook express for email. The last couple of weeks I have not been able to open any links that are contained in the email. I have used OE for years and never had this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi there, the title of your thread in no way helps us know what your problem is.

Go to the start button, default programs and see if Outlook Express is your default email program.

Thanks for the reply. I have the mark by "use my current email program". Is this correctg or should it be by "Outlook Express"? I do not think I have changed this.

Sometimes strange things can get changed. Yes, please check Outlook Express.

I checked Outlook Express but that made no difference in being able to open a link.

Hey - that seemed to do it. I only tried one I have been waiting to open. You are a genius I have asked many people about this and no one could give me an answer. I have to leave the computer now, but will come back and try it again. Many thanks for your help.

You're welcome.

I don't think genius has anything to do with it though but, thanks for the compliment

If the thread is solved you can mark it as such, right above your first post.

My sister in law had this same problem, so I kinda knew what to try
