Outlook Express links and IE

[Guest]

All of a sudden when I bring up Outlook Express and click on a link in an
email it no loger brings Inernet Exploerer even though I have it as my
default web browser. I checked the internet options and Outlook Express is
set as the default email program. If I make another browser such as
Flashpeak's Slimbrowser my default browser when I click on a link in an email
of Outlook Express it opens up Slimbrowswer everytime.
Why won't it pull internet exploerer anymore when I make it my default
browser?

1. You click on a link and an IE window doesn't even open:

3. Installing the latest Cumulative Patch for IE may solve the problem as a
side-effect. Check in at Windows Update.
