    When I click on a Link, nothing happens! It used to work. What's up?


    I am unsure of whet has changed in my System but it is preventing Links from working.
    By working, I mean "going to the location the Link specifies".
    What would cause this?

    I stopped using hair styling mousse years ago!


    At 73, not much left to style!

    In the meantime - Do you have anti virus software installed, and if so is it up to date?

    It's most likely NOT the mouse, but the File Associations. For some reason that has been lost or corrupted, within Windows. If you recently changed your default browser, that could be the culprit.

    You will need to go into "Settings" and tell Windows what program you want to open those links with.

    If you were here, or even close by (Central FL) I could fix it for you in a few minutes. And solve another hundred or more problems at the same time. It's what I do!

    Try this:
    Go to a link and right click on it. Then from the drop down Context menu, click on "Open With" and from there specify your Default Internet Browser, whether it be I.E, or Firefox, or even Chrome. SAVE your choice, reboot and try the link again. Now, it should work as you want.

    Good Luck,
