| | Not properly installed?? 'Mailto' doesn't work Hello: When I click a 'mailto:' link in another application, Excel for example: - I.E. comes to the foreground, - then an error message pops up, saying "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." - then a new I.E. tab is created, with the 'mailto' statement in its address bar. The html page says 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Windows Mail *is* the default mail program, and it works normally for all other mail tasks. Also, in I.E., when I use the 'Set Program Associations' tool, it shows that Windows Mail *is* the default program for the 'mailto' protocol. I can't figure out what else might be wrong?! Many thanks ... Jeff |
