    what type of link? webpage - what does the link end in. eg htm html

    Could be a registry corruption, or an infection, scan with malwarebytes, or bad link, or as it suggests, you have no program associated with the extension in the link eg IE-htm, acrobat for pdf.

    Thank you.. Can you advise/tell me what the programme error means. It's only recently I have experienced this issue and of course I would like to eliminate the problem

    Not sorted it really. I just clicked on the ? mark in the top right hand corner of Windows Live mail and got THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE :-(
