See if these help fix the problem (assuming you've not omitted info relating to an install of IE7):

Also might want to see this information from Frank Saunders, MVP-Outlook Express:

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

I'll try to explain this as best I can [I'm late for work already and will have to review replies later].

As of yesterday, I can not access the internet thru a link in my email. When I click on a link, it starts to open the IE window then it closes [very fast, one second it's starting to open then it's gone]. As a test, I sent myself an email with a link to eBay. Can't open it from OE but if I save the link to my desktop and click on it, it works fine. As is usually the case, I haven't changed any settings prior to this happening.

Any suggestions??? TIA
