Outlook Express hyperlinks?

[RhumbRunner13]

Since I upgraded to IE 7, possibly longer, my hyperlinks in OE don't hyperlink! It's maddening to get an email on a registration that offers something free and not be able to get to the sight to get it.

I thought I remembered being able to able or disable links in email but now I can't remember where or how it is done. Please point me in the right direction!!

Are the hyperlinks broken only in OE or are all hyperlinks unresponsive? Also what version on OE are you running?

One possible solution to try is holding CTRL while clicking...

I'm running OE 6. Hyperlinks appear unresposive ONLY in OE. I opened some mail in Comcast Mail and hyperlinks work there as well as in Hotmail (as best as I can remember).

I tried holding CTRL, ALT and Shift, all with no change.

Here is somethng I found that makes sense. I can't test it since I don't have a pop account set up.

Using Internet Explorer Security Zone to Disable Active Content in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) E-mail
Security zones enable you to choose whether active content, such as ActiveX Controls and scripts, can be run from inside HTML e-mail messages in Outlook Express. By default, Outlook Express 6 uses the Restricted Zone instead of the Internet Zone. Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 and Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 used the Internet zone, which enable most active content to run. To customize your Internet Explorer security zone settings for Outlook Express:

CAUTION : Changing security zone settings can expose your computer to potentially damaging code. Use caution when you change these settings:

1. Start Outlook Express, and then on the Tools menu, click Options.

2. Click the Security tab, and then click either Restricted Sites Zone or Internet Zone (less secure, but more functional) in the Virus Protection section under Select the Internet Explorer security zone to use.

3. Click OK to close the Options dialog box, and then quit Outlook Express.

4. Start Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu, and then click Security .

5. Click Custom Level for the security zone that you selected in Outlook Express. The security settings that you choose apply to Outlook Express as well as Internet Explorer.

Well, tried that and no help.

I may give this thread a whirl on the GB...see if any of the computer gurus know what to do.
