when my dad is on something like craigslist and wants to contact the person selling there is typically a link to click on to contact that person. When he clicks on it he gets an error:
You cannot perform this operation
Current default mailclient is not properly installed

can someone help?

I suspect that the mail client that is in question is that there is no email on the computer.
Such as Outlook.

but since he is in aol, under his email address....shouldnt it automatically open his email from there?
He has used this before and now all of a sudden it isnt letting him.

Hi ctbco,


123Runner,

I visit Craigslist often. I have had experience with the same issue and this is what solved it for me.

Go to Start > Set Program Access and Defaults > Click on Custom > Select AOL as your default email.

If for some reason Set Program Access and Defaults is not there under Start...

Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > in the left pane Click Set Program Access and Defaults > Click on Custom > Select AOL as your default email.
