I'm using Outlook Express 6 and for some reason when I get a email with a link attached to it, nothing happens when I click the link. It used to work but now I have to cut and paste to open the page, any ideas whats going on. Also thanks to GMACK24 for his post on sluggish computer, some good info there.

what internet browser are u using??? if u switched to FireFox, then u have to switch the "Default browser" to FireFox before it will work...

if u havent switched it, then u have some spyware or somethin...
