    Opening web address given by e-mail


    When I click on a web address sent by e-mail a box pops up and says "This file does not have a program to open blah blah--------".This has only started recently so can someone help?.

    Can you open web pages or local html files with your brower?

    Right click the object in the eMail, select properties and paste that information in a new post.

    I can't tell what it is from your description (a web address) or what application should try to open it. Just because it looks like a web address, doesn't mean it is.

    Hello Den,

    As a test, see if setting Internet Explorer as the default program with all of it's associations may be able to help.

    To be quite honest I am not too sure which was the magic elixir because like a fool and in sheer desperation I tried several regardless of consequences as I was on the verge of doing a reinstall.
