Email hyperlink opens dozens of IE windows.

[Guest]

Running Windows XP, Office Outlook is default mail. When clicking on an
email hyperlink on a web page, Outlook doesn't open, but instead over 50 to
60 IE windows open, but don't connect to anything. Has happened even after
full virus scan, spyware scans. Any ideas?

A shot in the dark, but try this: In IE, click Tools>Internet
Options>Programs>Reset Web Settings.

I'm having the exact same problem only this is occured in Word. No problem
with hyperlink to a webpage - only occurs when clicking on email hyperlink.
Were you able to find a solution?

I'm getting close to the root of the problem. But because the problem is on a
friends computer, I won't be able to look at it for another few weeks. As
soon as I resolve the problem I will let you know. If you want check what I
have found out up until now under
Internet Explorer 6/General
"e-mail hyperlink in Word opens over 50 IE windows"
If you do find the solution after seeing what I have found out, I would
appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks.

I finally resolved the problem. It seems that Outlook Express was not
correctly "registered" in the registry. If you go in under the discussion
groups home\
English\Windows\Internet Explorer\Internet Explorer 6\Internet Explorer 6
general\ and search for "e-mail hyperlink in Word opens over 50 EI windows".
There were a number of different solutions, some of which were more directed
toward Outlook as opposed to Outlook Express, which was what I was working
with. I hope you can use some of the links I was given to resolve the problem
you were having.
Best wishes,
