3rd party links in OE6 messages

[Guest]

Have just installed IE 7 and when I click on a 3rd party link within an email
message nothing happens. When using IE 6 the click always produced a new
window showing the page.
Is there some setting required to make IE7 respond the same as IE6 always
has when clicking on a link in an email message in OE6??

Users of IE7 are asked to post their comments to
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general newsgroup.

On the web:

Hi,
Go to Control panel> Add or remove programs> Set Program Access and
Defaults, choose Microsoft Windows or Custom. Make sure IE is selected as
the default browser.

Next see "If nothing happens" at: http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm
* Note: checking or unchecking "Use DDE" (near the end of that article) may
be all that's needed. Try that first.

Hope this helps,
