small annoying outlook problem

[a dreams forever]

just yesterday outlook express has been having this problem. when I click on the internet links in the e-mails to go to the page, the page never loads up (IE doesnt even come up. same with firefox) and outlook shuts down. any way to fix this? :dead:

what version of outlook are you using also what o/s?

I know Outlook has got a problem where clicking on an internet link within an email takes ages to open Internet Explorer. I assume this might be something similar with Outlook Express.:ermm:

Try running IEFix as this is one of the problems it fixes.

does your security page look the same as this?

thank you all for the help. you guys are awesome. one last question. I may seem like a newb for it but. how do I make IE my defualt browser again? firefox keeps coming up. bleh. it takes to long for firefox to load up on my comp.

Go into Internet Options.
Under 'Programs' tab...

put a check to get IE to check to see if it's the default browser.

Try using SetBrowser to reset your default browser.

It usually does the job.
