Again, my incoming OE msg links won't open IE
Found it...Firewall back on.
"Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in message ... "Pappion" wrote in message ... I have XP Pro, SP2, all MS updates, and I once followed NG advice to "fix" this problem, that only cropped up overnight, and it worked. Now its happening again. I can see that the URL opens on my taskbar, but it will not open my IE. I use AVG, Ad Aware, Zone Alarm, Spybot S&G, and my DSL has an internal router in the modem, et al. Is one of these removing my settings? I've also just noticed that when I hit Forward on some email messages, or a FAX, Outlook attempts to perform, and I use OE; additionally, my address book is gone from my fax, unless I click on my desktop MS Fax icon, and now a directory opens, so if I click on Shortcut to MS Fax, then the Address Book is present when the fax window opens. I've run Trend Micro and all reports are the same as I get from the others...which I run twice a week...but AVG updates and runs daily. Never anything found but Cookies, which I have deleted. One or more of those programs is blocking the Registry change it needs to make in order for IE to be made the default (probably not AVG). A few of the programs now doing this a Ad-aware's Ad-Watch IBM Access Connections McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware Norton AV Spyware Blaster Spybot Tools IE Tweaks Spybot- Teatimer Spysweeper Windows Defender Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions. In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you reinstall Zone Alarm. Boot into Safe Mode with Networking with Networking and try the change. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.
