Lost link

bungalow_bill

Hi all

I seem to have lost the ability to successfully click links from e-mails, and on some websites. I've been through all my tick boxes on the settings, but can't solve it at the moment

Please help!

If you click a link and it either doesn't come up, or you get an empty browser window with no connection, there are two common possibilities. If you have a pop-up stopper, this can interfere with a browser window coming up, especially if you already have one open.
Now, in your browser, you should make sure that you have IE set as your default browser.
To do this, start Internet Explorer then go to View / Internet Options and select the " Programs " tab.





Make sure the message "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" is selected. If not, then check it.
Press OK and close Internet Explorer. Now the link in your email should bring up a website.

If you are using Firefox, try setting Explorer to act as default and then revert the default back to firefox.

Hi, no not using forefox, and all explorer settings are ok. If I click a link sent on an e-mail, nothing happens. Also if i click on some links embedded in websites, nothing happens. Its not the pop-up blocker.

Any other ideas gratefully received!

Hi,

what version IE, 7 or 8, if 7 then update to 8, you could also try FF see if it works.

Nope, using IE8.

Any help please?? It was fine until a couple of months ago
