    Hello Jacquie,

    Double check in Default Programs to make sure that "Internet Explorer" and "Windows Mail" is set as the default program with all of their associations set to them. The tutorial below can help show you how to if needed.

    Default Programs - Program Default Associations

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Are those links you click on for web pages? If so:
    Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
    the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
    "Set your default programs."
    After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Internet
    Explorer". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
    then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.
