Cant connect to links

[Guest]

I could really use some help here if anyone can, PLEASE. Afew days ago my
computer started to not let me go to links. Like I will get something in my
email and supposed to go to a link there or another page, but when I click on
it nothing happens. Some have the link there so I can just copy and paste but
90% dont. I have never had this before either and my hubby dont know jack
about it either. Not just me email but anything with a link to it. I had
downloaed Mozilla for a day to see how it was, then deleted it and seems
around then that this happened. Please, anyone that can help. It is very
frustrating for me also. Thanks.

If you are using a Pop-up Ad blocker program, check its documentation to
see if it is blocking the opening of a new web browser and how to
workaround that.

It sounds like after you uninstalled Firefox/Mozilla, Windows didn't set IE
back to your default browser. Try going into IE (Internet Explorer), click
Tools, Internet Options, Programs Tab, then check the box at the bottom
talking about IE being the default browser. Click OK, and close IE.
Re-open IE, it should ask you to make it the default browser, click Yes. Now
see if your links work.

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks so much Ryan !!! Juust like that. I dont know how I missed that but it
worked as soon as I set the default on the internet options for the browser.
Once again....many thanks...take care and all the best

Sorry, did not work for me and I still have the problem. In my case, maybe it
was not Firefox but IE 7 which I installed and then, because of this problem,
I uninstalled.
I hace tried everythig I culd find about it except unisntalling Windows and
starting from scratch all over again.
