I am Trying to make Outlook my default email program
(Earthlink 5.0 was coming up) but when I click on an
email link (mailto:whoever@whatever)
a error message comes up saying that my "default email
program is not installed properly".

I have opened control panel and re-set web settings.
I have made sure Outlook is set as default under tools-
configure-use other mail client, in my browser and it
still doesnt work.
When I click on an email link Outlook opens up but the
error message still says "default email program is not
installed properly".
any help would be greatly appreciated!

What do you show under control panel->internet options->programs for the
default programs to handle mail, news, calendar and contacts? If you make
them all Outlook, does it work then?
