Hi, I was wndering if anyone could help me, this is driving me crazy!
I use Outlook Express for my emails, and for some reason in the past few days it has completely stopped opening links. I can't think of anything that has happened to the computer for this to happen at all.
Normally they will open in a new tab on Firefox, but no more
Ihave googled a bit but any suggestions have not worked unfortunately.
Thank you so much for any advice

Yea just done a scan and nothing was found, which is good!
I've not tried that i'll look into it, but I tried to get it to work with IE and that wouldn't work either, so I think it's outlook
Ooh thanks i'll have a look at that
HTH
I've not downloaded anything that I can remember? I use firefox 'cause IE makes my computer slow, I thought it might sort itself out and it hasnt, it's such a pain
What have you tried so far? There's not much point people suggesting things if you've already tried them...
This one:
Windows 98/2000/XP
To make web pages open again when you click links in emails using Windows XP and earlier:
* Make sure neither Outlook Express nor Internet Explorer are open.
* Select Control Panel from the Start menu.
* Click Internet Options.
o If you do not see Internet Options right away, click Network and Internet Connections before.
* Go to the Programs tab.
* Make sure Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser is checked.
* Click OK.
* Close Internet Explorer.
* Re-open Internet Explorer.
* Click Yes when asked Internet Explorer asks "Internet Explorer is not currently your
default browser. Would you like to make it your default browser?"
o If Internet Explorer does not ask:
o Close Internet Explorer
o Select My Computer from the Start menu.
o Choose Tools | Folder Options... from the menu.
o Go to the File Types tab.
o Highlight (NONE) URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol.
o Click Advanced.
o Highlight open.
o Click Remove.
o Click Yes.
o Click OK.
o Now click Close.
o Start Internet Explorer.
I have tried downloading it and it won't let me. Not my lucky day with technology is it lol!?
It could be connected somehow?
have you checked all your TOOLs / ACCOUNTS/ PROPERTIES/ SERVERS settings?
I'm with TalkTalk, i'm not sure what those are
What do you mean by "it won't let me"? What actually happens?
It finally worked, but i've got the same problem with this as with Outlook Express, links just will not open, I get an error message saying:
"The parameter is incorrect"
This is really frustrating now!
Anyone know what to do?
