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?

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?

Go to Start and select Default Programs. At the top you will see (Set your DefaultPrograms). Use that to select I.E. and Live Mail as your default programs. Reboot. Check and see if your hyper links will work in your emails.
