Hi all, 9 month old laptop, no issues up to now but suddenly having problem with an email issue - if i sign up for something and the company in question send me an email with a link for me to click on to confirm I'm genuine it comes up with an error box saying 'application not found' - I also had the same message when trying to click on a 'unsubscribe' button sent in an email for a different company - can anyone help me? thanx

Does your INTERNET work otherwise. It's not an email problem as such, sounds like the security setting in the email softeare you are using.

open up Windows Explorer (not internet explorer), or My Computer etc... click Tools > Folder Options > Flie Types and scroll down to HTML and make sure it's set to open with your internet browser. It sounds like your default programme for internet links isn't configured properly.0
