Links not opening

[Guest]

Any links that i get in my Outlook 2000 email messages will not open in explorer. I used to get this problem in Outlook Express 6 so installed Outlook 2000 and it was fine but its happening again!!!

I have tried re-registering files such as regsvr32 urlmon.dll and a list of others on the Microsoft Website but no joy. I have tried uninstalling Internet Explorer and re-installing it buy to no avail.

There is no popup blocking software running and I have also checked to see that IE is the default browser etc.

Please help this is doing my head in!!!

Thanks
Ben

Hi BenJames,

SYMPTOMS
When you receive an e-mail message in Outlook Express that contains
shortcuts to Web pages or other Internet resources (using URLs such as
http://www.microsoft.com), the URL is opened in a new Microsoft Internet
Explorer window the first time, but any other URLs in the e-mail message
are opened in the same Internet Explorer window when you click them.

This behavior occurs whether or not you have enabled the "Reuse windows for
launching shortcuts" option in Internet Explorer properties.

Third-party software, such as applications, which prevent Internet Explorer
pop-up windows from opening, may also cause this behavior by modifying the
URL file type association settings on your computer. Double-click Control
Panel, and then double-click Add/Remove Programs to verify the programs you
currently have installed, and then verify if you have software installed
that may affect the behavior of opening URL shortcuts from within Outlook
Express e-mail messages. Consult the manufacture of the software to find
out how to resolve the behavior that their applications may cause. You may
also follow the steps in the "More Information" section later in this
article to manually set the URL file type association settings on you
computer back to their default settings.

Hiya Ben,

I have just fixed this problem myself, with no help from
Microsoft I might add!

I am using outlook express, not Outlook 200, but you have
the same problem I had so perhaps it will work. I
already knew about the registering of urlmon.dll but not
what comes after so here is my suggestion:

Click start, then run, type in CMD
In the dos prompt, type in REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL, okay this
and then reboot.

When restarted, go to Internet Explorer, Internet
Options, Programs and click Restart Web Settings.
You will have to reset your home page to whatever you had
before but this fixed my problem.

Hope it helps you!
