Outlook Links not Working

ggatiss · #1 Apr 13, 2003, 11:14 AM

For some reason I cannot open hyperlinks in Outlook. When I click on the link in a message in Outlook, nothing happens. If you know how to fix this or where I can go for help, I would appreciate your assistance!!

HTML is (and was) selected

sometime this can also be caused by the installation and uninstall of another browser such as Netscape. In Windows 9x / Me Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options, Programs, and make sure the "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" checkbox is checked. This setting can be done in the Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in tools, Internet Options

I found that if you downloaded a windows update # xp kb911567 this is your problem just go to start - settings - control panel - add/remove programs and remove that program you should be all set I found this fix at microsoft support

If your able to click on a link then it is already set to view html. Make sure that you have a browser set as default. Whatever browser you have make sure one of them is set as default, otherwise when you click on a link in a outlook email it wont find a browser to open up into.
