Title: Any Ideas?
Post by: quandam on Feb 04, 2010, 10:32:41
PC working fine other than unable to connect to links within received emails. They simply will not open although open normally outside of OE. Any ideas?

I've seen this in the past - have you tried and removed another browser, in particular Google Chrome?

Can you reset your browser to be the default browser, Q?

Rik: HTML

Inky : You may be on the right track :fingers: Have changed over a couple of days ago from Chrome back to FF, haven't removed Chrome from the HD though. What should be my next move? :dunno:

As Simon suggests, resetting FF back to default browser might help.

If you are getting the "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer." message then hasve a look at http://www.slipstick.com/problems/link_restrict.htm but if not then have a look at it anyway!
