    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?

    Regards,
    Eddy

    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
