Outlook general failure the url was

OK I had this fixed before but I fresh installed Vista x64 and can't seem to fix it.

When I click on a link in Outlook email I get "general failure the url was"

It is driving me nuts can anyone help?

I have googled and tried everything but nothing works



Thanks!

Re: Outlook general failure the url was

Well I fixed it.

For anyone else here is what I did.

I downloaded Firefox installer x86 and installed it. Ran it once and clicked on a link in outlook 2007 and it loaded.

Then I just deleted the contents inside the folder and copied over my x64 Firefox and it now works again.

What is "Firefox installer x86"? I use the normal Firefox from Mozilla and am having the same problem you had, have tried a gazillion things without success.

What "folder" are you referring to? I would like to follow your instructions, but don't understand them.

Sorry for the late reply.

Try this fix listed here first. it does require a "easy" registry edit but be sure you have a backup just in case.
