I must have installed something somewhere which has turned off the enabling of clickable links in windows, eg MSN conversations etc. I can't seem to remember how to renable it. Anyone? ;D

That should be a setting within the programs. I don't have AIM, but I do have Live Messenger, and you should be able to do it like this:

Go to Tools > Options > Security and check the box next to Allow links in the message window.

Oh I forgot all about this. I've realised this is not just a Messeger problem, but indeed one that concerns most links on any type of page. It must be a security thing but I can't seem to get the right setting. I'm using Firefox.
