Some links in email won't execute but some will

When I open up e-mail, sometimes links that I click in those emails will
attempt to open, but there is a quick sound of something like a door sound
instantly closing, and the link will not open. If I copy the link and open up
another Explorer window, I can most of the time get the link to open. Any
ideas?

Hi John :)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Hyperlinks (Links) don't work

Be sure that IE is the default browser.
Open Control Panel> Internet Options> Programs.
Check the "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default
browser" check box.
Click OK.
Start IE and when you are prompted to make it the default browser, click
Yes.

or............

Go to Start>Run and type in regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Then click ok
Then open Internet Explorer and go to
Tools>Internet Options>Programs and
click on 'Reset Web Settings...'
Try the hyperlinks again

Unresponsive links - Links won't respond

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

3. Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following message:

DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded.

4. If that doesn't fix it, see this article:

http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window

5. If you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_Default_Browser.reg

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for WinXP).
Type oleaut32.dll, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file's location, which is
probably in the Win98 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation CD-ROM
(typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for
WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32
for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) looks for the
file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has been
successfully extracted'.

You may need to reboot.

Open a DOS windw or use Start menu, Run, [CMD for XP]. Type this command:

REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL
Ok, Reboot.
Then in Internet Explorer go to: Tools, Internet Options, Programs, Reset
Web Settings.

In Windows Explorer go to: Tools, Folder Options, File Types.
Scroll down to URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol, Advanced, Edit.
Under "Application used to perform action" it should read:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
