Clicking on links in Outlook Express doesn't work

[KahmSahmNeeDah]

Clicking on Internet links doesn't go to those links anymore when
using Outlook Express.

Any ideas as to why that is ?

Thanks.

Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to Internet
Explorer 7:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929867

If still no joy, for IE6 & IE7:

From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet
Shortcut) and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome (Check the path to
iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

What happens when you click on link?

Are you running WinXP SP2 or WinXP SP3?

Are you running IE6 or IE7?

Is IE your default browser?

I just went through all steps again. I then unchecked DDE. Still did not
work. When I went to go through 1 more time the DDE was checked instead of
unchecked as I had last done.

And ***what*** happens when you click on a link in OE? Please answer.

If nothing happens at all, did you try the other possible fix I suggested?

REPOST:

Try re-registering these dlls:

Start | Run | type, or Copy/Paste, these in one at a time and try again.
(Note the space in each command).

regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

In IE, go to: Tools>Internet Options>Programs. Click: Reset Web Settings -
(uncheck box for homepage) - Click Yes.
