 | Vista - Opening links in Internet Explorer 8 |
 |

| 07-07-2009 | #1 |
| | Opening links in Internet Explorer 8 I am using IE 8 and the latest version of Windows live mail. When a web link is included in an E Mail message and I click on it I get the following message "Windows cannot find http:....... Make sure you have typed the name correctly and then try again". The IE 8 window opens but it is completely blank with no google search facility. I have tried uninstalling both IE8 and Windows Mail but this has had no effect. If I open IE8 and leave it running in the background the link facility works fine. I am using Windows XP. I think the problem arose when I upgraded to IE8 but cannot be sure. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. |
