All of a sudden, web links from emails are not being passed to my
browser. Instead I get a message "windows cannot find http://..(url
of the link) ..." Make sure you have typed the name correctly .......

Re: Lost links from emails

Hi Stevey,

Are you using Mozilla Firefox as the default, per chance?

Make sure to download the most recent releases of he mentioned Firefox
add-ons, if you use them. This bug is supposed to be fixed in all of them
now.

Re: Lost links from emails

Are you running Firefox? If so, the following link may be of help.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_er...file_-_Firefox

I don't know if there are similar problems or fixes with IE. Hopefully
somebody else here will.
