Clicking on Email notification popup does nothing

[Martin Lee]

I have MSN Messenger 6.2.0133 installed, and clicking on
the email popup notification no longer takes me to my
hotmail inbox (in fact, it does nothing). I have recently
installed XP SP2 RC1 (I'm running Windows XP
Professional). I wonder if this is the culprit?

Any ideas are welcome.

Greetings Martin,

I've installed RC1 on a number of PCs now, and none have had this problem (so it's not
widespread to SP2 anyway). I'm curious however, if you go into Internet Explorer, go to any
page, right-click on a hyperlink and choose "Open in New Window", does a new window pop-up?

I have also found this problem with Windows Messenger, whereby the
notification I had for unread mail on my hotmail account has gone, and
clicking the email link now opens my Outlook mail! It's as though SP2
removed the hotmail add in.

It's as though SP2

removed the hotmail add in.

and indeed it did. I have reverted to the previous Messenger version and
it's fine now.
