Re: Problem when clicking link in vista

Hi,

Try setting the default programs. Click Start>Default Programs>Set Default Programs and from there you can set the defaults for all the filetypes and protocols.

It appears you need to do this for your mail program, at least.

Alternatively, you could go into Associate a filetype or protocol with a program and set them up individually there.

Hope it helps

Hi

Do you mean Firefox ?

Right click Start , select Properties, click the Customise button , tick Internet connection , select Firefox in the drop down link, and OK.

Hope it helps
