My wife suddenly cannot connect to hyperlinks in her AOL mail. Can someone
help?

What is the symptom? Is it opening a page with errors when she click on
those links?

 

[DrGaryG]

Absolutely nothing happens when she clicks on the links.

The standard cure for problems like this is to uninstal the
app, then reinstal it. This works more than half the time.

WinXP SP2 or SP3? IE6, IE7, or IE8? Is the computer fully patched at
Windows Update?

You click on a link and an IE window doesn't even open:
