Hyperlinks are not working, neither in Word nor in Outlook. I presume I have to set something somewhere but don't know what it is. In Outlook I get the dialog: General failure. The URL was ... . An error occurred in sending the command to the application. In Word nothing happens at all. No message, no opening of Firefox or IE.
Thanks all.

Ellen,
My mind reading abilities are a bit slow today....
* What version of Outlook & Word are you using?
* How long have you had this problem?
* Have you a System Restore Point created PRIOR to the problem occurring?
* BTW >check to see if this applies.
In Outlook go to Tools > 0ptions > Mail format > Message Format and make sure html is selected > Apply
* Links that may provide you with some useful information.

Actually just downloaded and ran the Fixit (http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9657448) and everything is just fine now.
Many thanks.

Safe surfing.
