    Hyperlinks don't work in the new version of Windows Live Mail

    I have a problem on only one of my computers when running the new Windows
    Live Mail. I can not read embedded hyperlinks in email messages. If I click
    on a hyperlink in an email an error message comes up with the link address
    and then it says "application not found". Is there a setting some where on
    my computer that needs to be changed?

    Finally! I have been searching th enet. I have the same problem MS has not
    been able to solve. I have a question. I think my problem started after
    installing Firefox Mozilla. I removed and still have the problem. Did you
    install Firefox?

    Thoma:

    I got frustrated waiting for someone to respond that I ended up doing the
    "reformat and reinstall OS" dance.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    I have Firefox installed together with WLMail (although FF was installed
    first) and no problem. Firefox is set default browser as is WLMail.
    When I press any link within WLMail it will open in Firefox.
