Vista - Can't open hyperlinks

Running Vista RC1 with Office 2007 beta. Can't open hyperlinks in email or
other documents. Get message "This operation has been canceled due to
restrictions in effect on this computer." Can't find a setting in Local
Security Policy or elsewhere for this. Didn't have this problem with Vista
Beta 2 and Office 2007.

Did you go to "Tools", Options, Security tab and uncheck the box that says
"Do not allow attachments to be opened....?

I have the same issue and can not find the option box selection you are
referring to. Using Vista RC1, Office 2007 Beta 2 with Technical Refresh
installed. Have searched through every menu under Tools in Outlook 2007
and have not been able to find an option relating to disabling
attachments or hyperlinks. I am wondering if this may be related to
using Mozilla Firefox as default browser? Hyperlinks in Outlook 2007
beta 2 used to work fine with Vista Beta 2 also with Firefox as default
browser. Something has changed with either RC1 or more likely the Office
2007 Technical Refresh for RC1.

I have the same problem.
Just added Firefox, since IE7 was having problems with lots of sites.
Do not know if that is what is causing the problem.
Could not find any security options to change.

I had Firefox as default browser. No hyperlinks allowed from Outlook
2007 B2TR. Changed default browser back to IE. Rebooted. *Still* no
hyper-link access.

Partial fix (link thanks to Patrick Schmid) here:

Outlook 2007 B2TR apparently does have it "out" for Firefox.
