I have had the same problem when I was using Hotmail and now that I have switched to Outlook.com I am still unable to open or activate links in e-mails which are sent to me.
IE 9 ( not 64 bit) is the default browser and Windows Live Mail is the default e-mail on my computer.
I suspect that I have clicked or changed something on my PC which I should'nt have done.
Can anybody help me out on this one?

Have you tried using other browsers aside from IE 9?
I have tried IE Vers 8 but I get the same problem.
Outlook and Hotmail will by default block links in emails. This is to protect the system. There should be a warning shown for you to allow blocked content.
Thank you for this info. I have not noticed any request to allow blocked content when I click on the links?
Is there a command that I can set to select this option for all incoming mail?
Yes, it should be somewhere within your email options.
The "Allow blocked content" should be a bar near the top of the message.
I cannot find this option anywhere?
I have already ticked this option exactly as you suggest and it does not make any difference.
Both in the WLM and Outlook.com
