| | Re: Cannot send email when clicking a link on a web page To correct this problem, go to Default Programs, which you can reach either from the Start menu or 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 all is well, it will respond "This program has all its defaults." If it reports less than all (3) of its defaults, fix it by selecting the option indicated by the first green arrow.

| | Re: Cannot send email when clicking a link on a web page Hi Gary I did this and only 2 defaults set so set 3rd one as advised but did not fix the problem. I also get message "navigation to the website was cancelled" and about 60 pages that I have to x out of. Its a brand new computer from a computer store with Vista. I paid a techie to install it $260. Is this an issue with Vista itself or did he forget to do something? He is hopefully coming back today but I don't know if I should pay him the $100 an hour or not.
