When I click an email address to email on a webpage in IE7 I get a message
saying "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is
not properly installed."

I have gone into the default programs and made sure it is listed as a
default program and it is.

Thanks
 
Click Start, select Default Programs
Click Set program access and computer defaults
Click Custom, and select your mail client
Click OK

Then, follow these steps:

Click Set your default programs
Select your mail client from the list
Click Set this program as default
Click OK.

If that does not work, see:
