Window Live mail problems

How come every time a message has a link in it and I click it, I always get
an error pop-up. I can't click on links in my Windows Live mail.

Re: Window Live mail problems

What does the error say?

The problem is most likely in the web browser. The link gets passed to
your default web browser. It might not be properly set as the default.

In Windows XP: Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set Program Access
and Defaults, Custom, Browser to make IE the default browser.

In Vista: Control Panel, Programs, Default Programs, Set Program Access
and Computer defaults

Hi, Bruce.

You are at least a couple of builds behind the current 14.0.8089.0726!

Get the current build - and as many of the other Windows Live Essentials as
you like - at:
http://download.live.com

If you still have problems after that, please start a new thread.
