294010 2004-11-19 20:45:00 Running XP SP2. and Microsoft Outlook 2003. Suddenly I have been denied access when clicking a link in email received. eg When trying to access a web page in mail received from Old Friends.co.nz I get the following msg in a box
"This operation has been cacelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
Any ideas on what I may have inadvertently done and how I can correct this please?
Thanks Smurf 		Smurf (506)
294011 2004-11-19 21:00:00 Try copying and pasting the link as Win XP SP 2 is protecting you from yourself from clicking links that come in emails.
short answer uninstall sp2. which if this is the only problem you have i would not recomend. 		Wayne H (1736)

294015 2005-02-22 15:32:00 I have tried the IE fix three times and it doesn't fix the problem.
I don't have access to another computer to copy a reg key.

Can someone help me fix this so I don't go out of my mind?
Should I just uninstall, do the IE fix and reinstall? I'm running XP sp1.

Thanks! If you can help me, please email me. Microsoft is NO help...big surprise!
