Every time I try to send an e-mail or click on somebody's e-mail link I get
this message. ( could not perform this operation because the default mail
client is no properly installed) Like I said everything was working fine
until this week and has been working without a hitch since january.

Sounds like your Windows Mail doesn't have all its defaults.
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 "Windows
Mail". 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.
