Error message when clicking on embedded link

Hi,

I recently in stalled WLM and up to now it works fine. The only problem I am
dealing with is that I am getting an error message when clicking on an
embedded link in my emails.

The message I get says that "Windows cannot find the link. Make sure you
typed the name correctly, and try again. To search for a file, click the
Start button, and then click Search."

While displaying this message the links opens the web browser and displays
the correct webpage.

The odd thing is that, when one page is already open on my web browser, the
links are working fine. It just opens a second tab and the link is displayed.

I am using Windows XP Pro and FireFox as my web browser.

Is there a way to get rid of this error message or is this a bug in the
program?

Thanks for any help/suggestion,
Eddy

That's a Firefox issue. I believe the Firefox forum has a fix for that.

Hi Gary,

I will check the Firefox forum, but why did it work without any problem with
Outlook Express? The only thing I did was "upgrading" to WLM and since that
time, I am getting the error message?

Eddy

Re: Error message when clicking on embedded link

So you're running XP rather than Vista?
I don't know. I've been away from XP for too long to offer any XP-specific
advice.

As posted in my initial question...

Anyway, I followed your advice and the problem has been solved via the
Firefox forum.
I guess we can close this issue (for me at least).

Cheers,
Eddy
