Outlook 2007 and Windows 7 64-bit

This is an expanded repost since my original message seems to have disappeared.
I have run Office 2007 Enterprise without problems in XP Pro 32-bit.
I installed Windows 7 64-bit in a clean install on new hard drives, after
letting Windows Easy Transfer save my settings etc. After reinstalling Office
and activating both programs, I reinstalled my settings with Easy Transfer.
Now one major problem has appeared.
I can't access any links sent in e-mails. I get the following error message:
"This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator." I am the administrator
on a home computer running with it without any restrictions. I have run
Office Diagnostics which come up completely clean as well as the Windows 7
Troubleshooter which even tried it in XP Compatibility mode. No effect.
When I try to access links in the Office Help function, I get a "page
unavailable" error message. "Microsoft Office On-line" is completely
grayed-out.
My computer set-up is identical to the set-up under Windows XP except for
64-bit specific updates. Both Windows and Office are in the latest patched
versions, handled automatically through Automatic Update.

I tried the Windows forum but the moderator disavowed the problems as
Windows issues, thought they didn't exist before I installed Windows 7.

I could really use some help here.

Thanks, DL. I couldn;t find the original when I checked and I didn't get any
notification of your help to that message.
Thanks especially for solving the problems. Your cures worked without a hitch.

Still seems that these weren't Outlook but Windows 7 issues--c'est la
Microsoft.

Thanks again,
