Outlook Error - locate link browser ?

[Cazzythom]

Good Morning to all,

I hope you can help me fix this problem. I use Outlook and just lately
(about a month or so), every time a click on the firat e-mail link to open up
a browser window, a box comes up called 'locate link browser'. I usually just
cancel this and then the browser window opens anyway, but I can't understand
why it does this first ?

After this when I click on a link in an e-mail, this box doesn't appear. Its
only the very first link I click.

I hope you can help me with this as it just delays my browsing experience.

Regards,

Miss. Caroline Thom

Hello PA Bear,

Thanks for responding, sorry its taken me so long to get back to you !

I have Windows XP 2002 Home Edition with Service Pack 3 and my IE is
Microsoft Corporation - Internet Explorer Version 8.00.6001.18241. That info
was from Belarc Advisor, I'm not that clever !!! yet anyway !!

I hope this info helps you to help me.

Regards,

Sounds like a bug in IE8 Beta 2 or possibly a horked install of same. As
such, I'm going to ask you to repost in the IE Beta newsgroup:
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta

Via the web-interface:

Via your newsreader:

NB: IE8 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) was released today. Since you have IE8
Beta 2 installed, IE8 RC1 will be offered by Automatic Updates. However, I
would NOT recommend upgrading for 2 reasons:

1. Your problem with OL may be related to a horked install of IE8 Beta 2.
Upgrading to IE8 RC1 may just compound the problem.

2. If you installed IE8 Beta 2 and then installed WinXP SP3, you will NOT be
able to uninstall IE8 RC1 or WinXP SP3, should the need arise. See...

Upgrading to Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate 1

Good luck! (Personally, I'd uninstall IE8 Beta 2 and see if the problem
persists in your previous IE version (e.g., IE7 or IE6.)
