I have a problem and would appreciate some help. When I open a mail in
Outlook and it contains a link to a web page and I wish to follow it, it
doesn't do it for me. Instead it opens an error window with "Microsoft
Outlook" in the window title, saying "This operation has been cancelled due
to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator."
I've tried with different settings of Firefow and Outlook, I've tried Help
files and internet tutorials, but I can't manage to fix this. The machine in
question is a home based PC with no networking, sharing, or anything like
that, and it is not administered by anyone else.

Thanks!

Check your firewall settings.
 
I didn't multipost on purpose. And yes, I've asked this question in other
groups, because I'm just trying to get an answer to this problem. Thank you
for your alert, but that doesn't really help.
 
Thanks! I've made IE default and it opens links now. Even though I liked
Firefox better, I'll just use IE from now on for this kind of operation.
