[Help] MS Office 2007 Outlook Problem

[Farstrider]

When I click on a URL link in a mail this pops up! I have looked EVERY place that I can think of. I have recently installed Kaspersky A/V 2009 and have also looked but as I do not know the program that well I may well have missed something! Any help would be great! Thanks.

Make sure that the file associations for :

.hta is set for Outlook

.htm is set for your default browser

.html is set for your default browser.

Thanks Gary! I am not 100% sure what you are referring to. I am not having any problems with my browsers or being able to receive or read my mail! Only when clicking on a link in the mail!

This might help

It can happen if you have another browser set as default other than IE 6/7/8, best bet to cure that one is to uninstall the other browser, run IE to set it as default browser, reboot and then reinstall the preferred browser again. Long winded I know but I have this on a friends machine once and that was how I fixed it.

Thanks BeLGaRaTh! Will give this a bash! Appreciate you guys taking the time to help. :)

Big thanks guys! @ BeLGaRaTh, your link to the MS site did the trick! Problem solved, reset IE7 and Bob was your uncle! :D

I noticed the new firefox 3.0 is intent on becoming the default broswer. Was it installed?

No, I use Maxthon. Maxthon does ask if you want to make it the default, but as you know it uses the Trident engine that IE uses so it is almost as if you are using IE anyway! Thinking about it I think perhaps when I installed the latest version of Opera that this caused the issue. TBH I have never run into this problem before so I cannot say with any authority what actually caused the problem.

That is basically doing what BeLGaRaTh said to do.

@ Gary.... Yes, I was pretty slow on the uptake. :blush: Thanks again I do appreciate the help and advice!
