Link will not work in Thunderbird.
A similar problem to frodo23’s post but somewhat different though.
I have a problem with a Thunderbird installation on Win 7.
For a gift my 13 year old grandson is receiving a used laptop, I am the administrator and he is the second standard user.
I am having trouble with Thunderbird with regard to clinking on a url link within an email, the link page will not load, Internet Explorer 11 does not respond at all.
Normally when clicking on a blue link it goes red and the page then appears, in this case it goes red and then quickly back to blue again, nothing. If I try to copy and paste the link to put it in the address bar it goes grey instead of being highlighted in blue and will not paste.
At the bottom of the Thunderbird page is the error massage ‘The action can’t be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program.
Close the folder of file and try again. User.’
To my knowledge it is not open in another program.
I have tried installing and uninstalling Thunderbird many times but this problem still persists.
As a test I also installed my Grandson’s Thunderbird email account on my Admin account and there is no problem whatsoever.
For the time being his account is also installed on his Grandmother’s laptop with no problem, again as the second user.
Any ideas please, Pete.
