Links do not work in newsgroups. Error Message.

[Harley Davidson 95 Heritage]

I have cross posted this because I did not know if this is a Vista problem
or a Live Mail problem, I apologize if this is the wrong thing to do.

I have attempted to click on the links provided in messages in newsgroups
and they do not open my browser (IE7). I get an error message telling me to
go to Set Association Control Panel. I get there by using Help and Support
in the start menu. If I am correct and get there, the settings are "Custom"
by default. I do change them to set them using, for IE and WLM, but to no
avail, I still am unable to use the links.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Harley
