    I'm not sure I know what you're talking about here. First; "my computer stopped working" is a very vague and ambiguous statement. Does it turn on? Does it boot to a version of Windows? Which version? Second; "...when I get an email with click here on it". Huh? This makes no sense to me at all. Maybe I'm slow, but what does this mean? Third; "Used to work fine now just gives me a blank page...". What used to work fine? What is giving you a blank page?

    We'd all like to help, but with this type of cryptic description, it is impossible to offer any assistance.

    Im using windows xp and when i get an email with click here which takes you to another site it does not work just comes up with a blank page searching but there is no address in the bar . At the same time my short cut icons also do the same just bring up a blank addressed page and keeps on searcing till you stop it . Hope this is clearer for you Thanks Bob

    email program?
    I assume it redirects using a browser but you failed to mention what browser you are using also.
    On the desktop? What service pack is running on XP?

    Caliban I don't need no steenkin' title!

    Go to Control Panel, System - the properties page should provide the operating system version and service pack #.

    There are 4 versions of Internet Explorer as of today. Which version 6, 7, 8 or 9(beta) are you running. I'm pretty sure it isn't version 9 but we still need to know if it is 6, 7 or 8.

    Also what version of OE?
