Clicking on internet links in Windows Mail

J

JDVogt

I have an issue that recently came about. If I get an email with an internet
link and I click on it, I get a message saying that the site cannot be
located, or something to that effect. This always happens when I click on
the link to launch IE8. If I already have a browswer window open on
something else, then the links in the email work and I get a new tab created
with the content.

Any ideas on how to resolve this? I have IE as my default browser.

Are you certain IE has all its defaults?
Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
"Set your default programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Internet
Explorer". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.
