Solve : Accessing links in e-mails? |
|
Answer» I am a very Senior Citizen and not very computer literate (but trying hard) -so easy language answers please ! My daughter gave me a Dell laptop. I am using Microsoft Windows XP and OUTLOOK Express. When I receive Email messages containing links ( for surveys, competitions etc;) and have "clicked" in various ways, I cannot access these links. Virgin MEDIA tell me it is nothing to do with them. I'd be grateful for some help.there is an option to allow links in the email program, you just have to find it and access it. You can ALSO cut and past links to a browser (internet explorer)See here: http://snipr.com/5e9jb Quote from: Broni on November 12, 2008, 09:30:45 PM See here: http://snipr.com/5e9jbThis article is misleading. It says: "Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are very much apart of one another. If you change your default browser to anything but Internet Explorer, Outlook Express will go senile and links won't work." That is a rather exaggerated statement. A browser other than IE can be used and links on OE messages will work fine, as long as the preferred browser is set as default browser. To check this setting, go to Control Panel (in Classic view) and open Internet Options. Click the Programs tab. What do you see under "Default WEB browser"? If it says "Internet Explorer is not currently the default web browser", and you are using IE, then click the button there titled "Make default". Also, in the same panel, check what program is set as your E-mail program. If not OE, then click the drop-down arrow and select OE. Click APPLY and click OK. |
