Hi

Try this:

Close OE, then type the following into Start>Run:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Please note the space between the 2 and u.

Then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs and
click on 'Reset Web Settings...'.

Try the URLs again then.

Here is the answer to your problem - stop using Outhouse Distress and
get a real email/news client like Thunderbird from Mozilla!
 
Has you recently installed or uninstalled an alternative browser??

In Internet explorer go to tools > Internet options > programs tab.Put a
check next to Internet Explorer should check to see if it is the default and
click apply. OK.

When you restart IE a message will appear Internet Explorer is not currently
your default browser. Do you wish to make it the default? click yes.

I'm sot sure why, but sometimes the links won't work unless IE is set as the
default browser.
 
When this happened to me I turned off "add" and "popup" blocking in
Norton Spam Blocker and that fixed it.

1. You click on a link and an IE window doesn't even open:

2. You click on a link and an IE window opens but it doesn't load: Try
re-registering all of the DLLs listed in this KB article...

3. Installing the latest Cumulative Patch for IE may solve the problem as a
side-affect. Check in at Windows Update.
