I go through Internet Explorer to get to my e-mail on Hotmail. I wanted to
send an e-mail to a company. I clicked on their "contact us" button on the
website. But I received the error message "Could Not Perform This Operation
Because The Default Mail Client Is Not Properly Installed." How do I correct
that so I can e-mail the company?
If your Hotmail Account is accessed on Outlook Express, Outlook, the Outlook
will open and you can send them a message.
But sine you are not having Outlook as your Default Client and you are
accessing your Hotmail on the E-mail ISP web page you will not be able to use
the Outlook to write a message or contact that kind of site.
If you wish to have your Hotmail Account accessed through Outlook then go
