Computer help

[ldtopham]

Can anyone please help with what is probably an easy fix. When looking at e-mail in Outlook Explorer, when a link to a web site is present I cannot get it to link through. If I hover over the link it is recognised as a hyperlink (remembered 1 thing from my computer course!) but clicking on it does nothing??
I suspect it is a case of checking or unchecking 1 of the advanced boxes in 'tools' but which? Don't know why it's stopped working but copy and pasting the link is so tiresome!

Many thanks,

try going to internet explorer, tools, internet options, advanced, then tick restore defaults.
Might be worth a long shot.

Yeah that was the first thing I tried but still no change.
Ta all the same. Links in MSN messenger don't work neither?

Couple of things to try:

1) isnt that hard and easy to do, try it shouldnt harm anything.
Go to Start >> Run, type in: regsvr32 urlmon.dll [Enter] and ok the next window

Then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools > Internet Options>> Programs and click on Reset Web Settings. (again)

2) If no one else comes up with any suggestions, its a techincal article and lots of long steps. last restort as i think its more a windows issue then an application.
