Hi any one who can help.

I am running Mozilla Thunderbird as my e-mail program. All was fine
but suddenly, and I don't know when, when I click a link to an
internet
site within the e-mail nothing happens. I have the same problem in
outlook express no links work.

My firewall program is Zone Alarm Security Suit, I have checked the
settings and all seem fine. I am also running Advanced Windows Care.

Can any one help please as it is driving me to distraction.

Reboot your machine and try the links, does this help.-

Hi nass

Thanks for your reply but unfortunately it hasn't worked. Any other
ideas?-

Are you running IE7?

Is IE7 set as your default browser in Set Program Access and
Defaults?-

Hi Robear

IE7 is not set as my default browser as I am using Firefox. The
problem is now solved as I found the answer to the problem on the
Thunderbird Help site. Thanks for your responce.-

Care to share the resolution with the rest of us?

Hi Robear,

The solution was to force Thunderbird to go to the default browser
which in my case is Firefox. I typed the following in Start/Run:
firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser and then clicked ok.

Thank you for this information, Walter.
