URL link access

[Ray]

Here's a new one (to me, anyway)...

When I'm reading email messages, and there's a URL link in the message, I
can't get to the web page the URL refers to. When I click on the URL,
nothing happens. I can access email addresses (as in "suchandso@, (etc)" ok,
but the URLs to web pages defeat me.

The system this head-scratcher exists on is running on a Celeron processor
at 850-odd MHz, with XP Home and SP2. Zone Alarm runs as a firewall. Outlook
Express is the mail server. As far as I know, I don't have the problem with
other email servers; but I prefer to use OE.

Anyone have an idea what might be happening here?

Hi Ray,

You cannot open a new Internet Explorer window or nothing occurs after you
