When viewing email which has a link included, when I click on the link, nothing happens.

Is there a setting or something to change?

As a matter of information, I have recently run XP Repair.

If you're using Outlook Express make sure you have a properly installed default browser.

You might just have an incorrectly configured file association. To fix that you can do the following:

1. Click "Start", then "My Computer" and then "Folder Options" on the tools menu.
2. Then click on the "Files Type" tab and select "URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol" in the list.
3. Click on the "Advanced" button and then in the Actions list, select Open and then Edit. A window should pop up and make sure in the box that says: "Application used to perform action" says: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". If it doesn't, change it to that.
4. Do the same for "URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol with Privacy".

Hope it works out for you!

Followed your instructions.

When I select "URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol", click on the "advanced" button, select open and then edit, no window pops up.

However when I select "URL:Hypertext transfer Protocol with Privacy" the window pops up with "C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe"

Any ideas?

I am running Outlook Express.
