Vista - Re: Links Won't open Properly

[Adding Vista.general in hopes someone can help you since you don't seem to
want to post there yourself. To recap, links won't open in firefox.]

I keep replying because you keep posting in the outlook groups... and I am
using Vista. I own several computers and Vista is installed on some. It's
not on my main production machine, a tablet pc, because there aren't drivers
available for my EVDO modem yet.
