Can't open links in outlook

I'm running XP home and have a hotmail account set up in Outlook. I can't open any links that I get in my e-mails. The only thing I've done as far as tweaking is to get rid of messenger. Is that my problem? or is there something else I need to do? Thanks

Its all over the forum, just waiting to be searched and found.


Most common fix is:

start- run, regsvr32.exe urlmon.dll
click OK

Might have to do this one too:

start-run, regsvr32.exe mshtml.dll
click OK


Did you check the MSKB?


Poor little kitties

 

No!!!!

robo...beat...me...to...it...

 

I did a search after doing the two fixes above and did all of the regsvr32 adds and still no dice. The second part: verifying hklm? I don't know where to go [don't answer that ] to do that and I didn't find out how in search. It took me twenty mins to find my first problem, Searches and I don't get along. I did see that you'll are rude and I've found out also that P.E.T.A. doesn't like you. So try and do better will ya

 

HKLM is loacated in the registry.

Start, run, regedit.

If none of the above posts listed by robo help, help us help you.

Go to msconfig (start, run), go to Services tab, check the box that says Hide all Microsoft services, and then post what is left in the list.

Then, go to your startup tab, and post what is in that list.

As for P.E.T.A., they know kittie homicide is not a labor of love, and blame all of those making me do it!!

 

I can't find any listing of anykind that begins or ends with HKLM, nothing!


Ok, after I hid the services I am left with:
Creative service for CD.....
LexBce server
Norton antiVirus Auto Pr.....
NVIDIA Display Driver Se.....
Virtual NIC Service
ScriptBlocking Service

Start Up Whew! 30 listings, here they come
navapw32 direct cd, realsched, nerocheck, lxsupmon, walmart connect, run setistash, The above are all checked

Unchecked listings
diagent, em_exec, wcescomm, incd, backwebb-88764480, lxsupmon, wkufind, msmsgs, msnmsgr, nvcpl, nymctray, nwiz, qttask, realplay, mididef, hpqs2wnd, realsched, updreg, adobe gamma loader, logitech desktop m...,. walmart connect, winzip quick pick, microsoft office, walmart connect

 

What OS is this?

Be specific if its XP.

Home or Pro?

 

Hehe, oops, didn't even notice that the abbreviation wasn't understood.

/slap self

 

Lexbce will be required for printing, robo.

Lexbce (it is made by Lexmark) is used by both Lexmark and Xerox printers. Same company?

Maybe.

 

Whats MSKB?????

 

Microsoft Knowledge Base

So, what OS is this?

 

XP home........

 

Try a new user account and test to see if it works there.

 

Nope doesn't work there either.

 

Outlook express 6

 

Well I tried what you gave me but I can't get the "url:hypertext transfer protocol" to open when I hit the edit button. I tested other entrys and they opened but of course the one I wanted wouldn't

 

That did it, thankyou all for your time and efforts.








and quit being so rude

 

Halo wins!

I shall sacrifice a kitten in your honor.

Oh wait, you went to the KB.

Kittie gets to live another day

Nice catch Halo.

In all honesty I was skeptical. That fix has never worked for me since I've been working with XP

 

I got rid of all the start up items except for Norton and seti stash. Need Norton want seti stash.
You guys are great, let me know when your ready for the next marathon
Be warned though, your going to have to kill a cat when I ask

 

If you're using Outlook 2000 SP2 or later, there's a good chance it's Outlook's "improved" security protocols, which block access to anything executable to help keep people from infecting themselves with viruses etc. And they don't offer any way to allow access.

Steve Bass (from PC World) recommended this highly some time back, and it works great. Gives you the choice of allowing various executables in Outlook which are now crippled. Most of them you won't want to enable, as nobody is likely to send you a .vbs attachment for fun, but .url is one of the blocked executables. Which you can enable.

With Outlook 2000 you'll need Service Pack 3.

[edit] Just noticed this was for Outlook Express instead of Outlook, but for anyone else reading this concerned with Outlook, this is a great little app.

 

Thanks G.T. I've got outlook but I only use it in conjunction with my hand held. I've saved that page just in case.
