Links in emails

[Scott L.]

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help. I'm new to Outlook Express
and I have a new DSL connection. When someone sends me
an email with a website link in the text, I can click on
it but it doesn't take me to the website -- nothing
happens. The link is in blue, underlined and I get a
pointing finger when my cursor is over the link.
Explorer is up and running. Is there a setting that I
need to enable? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Scott L.

Just a thought...

Links in Outlook Express work differently to those in Internet Explorer, in
that you need to double click them rather then just click on them...

Zoolook,
Thanks for responding. Double clicking doesn't work
either. Thanks though.

Similar problem after installing a pop-up stopper, can't remember which one,
OK once it was removed.
