When I click a link in an email in WLMDB, why does it freeze?

[Guest]

Whenever I try to click a link in my email using Windows Live Mail Desktop
Beta, it freezes the program and doesn't open IE7 to the page. I can copy the
shortcut from the link and do it that way. But otherwise, it freezes. Is this
a bug?

I've had a problem like this in the past, with different programs. One of
them was MSN Messenger 7.5. Clicking a link would simply freeze forever.
Mozilla Firefox was my default browser at the time, I wouldn;t think that
would matter. If it wanted it could just open IE6. I never did fix the
problem, Windows Live Messenger fixed it.

Make IE7B2 the default browser.
Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults

Nice, my WLMD or OS didn't freeze, but my links didn't work either.
Problem solved by U, thanks (I didn't even know about that specific
configuration pane).
