: You need to associate a WinXP file-type named 'URL:Hypertext Transfer
: Protocol' with MyIE2, a question best asked in a newsgroup such as, e.g.,
: alt.comp.freeware, but let's see what we can do.
:
: According to
http://www.myie2.com/help/en/menu/menu_options.htm, you
should
: be able to set MyIE2 as the default via
:
: MyIE2 Options>Default Browser>Set as default browser
:
: ...but doing so may not make hyperlinks in MS Outlook Express open in
MyIE2.
:
: You might try setting MyIE2 as the default browser via
:
: WinXP Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Set program access and
: defaults
:
: ...but again it still might not work for links in OE.
:
: [IOW, don't expect a non-MS browser to work well in an MS OS and Mail
: Client.]
:
: However, if all was well before installing SP2, you might try:
:
: 1. reset IE as the default via MyIE2 Options>Default Browser>Restore
: Last Default Browser
:
: 2a. reboot
:
: 2b. confirm that IE is the default in Add/Remove Programs > Set program
: access and defaults
:
: 3. re-enable MyIE2 as the default via MyIE2 Options>default Browser>Set
: as default browser.
:
: [Alternate 3. uninstall MyIE2, reboot, reinstall it and set as default]
:
: Having had (1) your anti-virus application and/or (2) MyIE2 open when you
: installed SP2 may have led to a "dirty" install and the problem you're
: having. YMMV & good luck.

OK thanks, I'll try it ..... got a notion it is something to do with my
active x settings as when my background picture is not loaded, it works but
after I load the picture, it doesn't, but that may be a coincidence
