Default Not properly installed.


When I clicked on an email address, whilst on the Internet, I got a message
:- "Cannot perform this operation because mail client is not properly
installed". How do I correct this?

Default Re: Not properly installed.

I assume you clicked on a mailto: link on a web page which tells your
browser to open your default mail application to send a message.

Check which default programs you have for mail via control panel, default
programs... and make sure in the properties for the one you want to use you
have the MAILTO protocol enabled...

Default Re: Not properly installed.

You made my day! Many thanks, although I could not follow your instructions
fully, because I could not find Default Programs in the Control Panel, but I
made Mail as the Default program in another way and now I get an addressed
email format on a click of the address on the web.
