email links not working

[zingo1327]

Any links I receive in emails have stopped working. This has just happened recently. I'm using outlook express and windows XP.
Any help welcomed

Your computer has probably lost the data which tells Outlook Express which web browser to open links in.

Hi again,
I want mozilla firefox to be my default browser and don't see that option

[zingo1327]

Me again,
Forgot to say Firefox is my default browser but still doesn't open email links

[Buenchico]

In Firefox go to Tools > Options > Advanced > General and click 'Check now'.
If Firefox is no longer set as your default browser (which can happen if registry data becomes corrupt) click 'Yes'

If Firefox is (apparently) your default browser, see the 'Windows XP' section here to set it again via the control panel:
http://support.mozill...browser-does-not-work

If that doesn't work, trying setting Internet Explorer as your default browser, restarting your PC and then setting Firefox as your browser again.

If that doesn't work, try using System Restore to set your registry back to a date before the problem arose. (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore).

If that still doesn't work, try an 'on top' installation of Firefox. (i.e. reinstall it WITHOUT first uninstalling it).

If that doesn't work, try uninstalling Firefox and doing a 'clean install'.

If that doesn't work, open a bottle of something alcoholic!
