e-mail addresses in web pages

[lilyg]

When I click on an e-mail address in a web page a message pops up saying
default maill client incorrectly installed

Mail client is windows mail (Vista) and browser ie Internet explorer.
Explorer says all defaults installed and Mail says it is the default app.

Otherwise seems to work ok

Help

Go to "Start" - "Default Programs" - "Set your default programs".
Highlight "Windows Mail", then click on "Choose defaults for this program".
click on "Select all" to make sure the MAILTO is selected
click on "Save"

Hi Dave,

I have the same problem and all 3 options for making Win Mail the Default
are selected. Does everyone else's work OK? If it is just a few then what
is causing the problem? Are there any Win Mail updates that might help?
Could I use Outlook Express instead of Win Mail?

Please help

I don't know what causes this problem.
If you have Outlook installed, then it will take over all defaults, even
after getting updates.
There's only been a couple of updates for Windows Mail in the past 18
months. It's essentially dead, having been replaced with the newer Windows
Live mail.
No, Outlook Express cannot be used on Vista.

Outlook Express won't run on a Vista computer.
I recommend you upgrade to the newer Windows live Mail:
