When I click on a mail link (or a email adress) in Internet Explorer 7 I get
an error message saying something like this

"The action could not take place as the standard client for mail is not
installed correct"

It is very annoying as I then have to mark up the email adress and use
copy-paste to send the mail from within Windows mail.

Anybody has suggestion about this error?

Set Windows Mail to take all of the defaults...

Start - Default Programs - Set your default programs
highlight Windows Mail, click "Set this program as default"
OK

Thank you for your proposition, but I have done that but unfortunately the
problem still persists. Any other suggestions?

My apologies to Dave, I see he had already responded. (I had view messages by
thread disabled.)


Gudmund,

Do you have Norton or McAfee installed? Both very frequently can cause problems
like this. Do you have any other problems with Windows Mail?

No I do not have other problems with Windows Mail, but this one is annoying.
I don't run Norton or McAfee. I run AVG free edition.

You set defaults for BOTH Internet Explorer and Windows Mail, rebooted and went
back to see if the settings stuck?
