I am unable to open hyperlinks in outlook 2007. I just installed office 2007
and when I click on an email hyperlink I get an error message that says "the
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer." I have
checked with Norton and it has nothing to do with any norton settings. Can
anyone help me with a solution.

Usually due to default browser settings, see if this helps:

You receive an error message when you click a hyperlink in Outlook

After several days of trying to solve this problem after trying several. Here is the one that solved the problem but do not forget to reboot afterwards, do following in sequence:

Click Start/Default Programs/Set program access and computer defaults/Custom then down arrow/Choose Internet Explorer and Outlook/then click OK/ Then RESTART your computer!!!!

All the solutions I found, never said REBOOT or RESTART your computer after making the changes!!!
