| 248749 | 2004-07-01 02:07:00 | Once a upon a time, when I changed my default Browser from IE 6 to Opera 7, clicking on a hyperlink in an OE e-mail would open Opera. Now nothing happens... Could my 'new' etrust firewall be stopping the hyperlinks? Any help would be appreciated! Cheers Bachelor |

| 248751 | 2004-07-01 03:23:00 | Registering the various .dll files didn't make any difference, so I guess I will have to go with the 2nd option and have IE 6 as the default browser, but only use it for email hyperlinks... Thanks Bachelor |

| 248753 | 2004-07-01 04:34:00 | Tried this, and even read the help file first. Still no joy | BachelorNo1 (3913) | ||
| 248754 | 2004-07-01 04:50:00 | Have you tried with the firewall off ? check the settings it could be block something in there ?? | johnboy (217) | ||
| 248755 | 2004-07-01 05:25:00 | Thanks for your perserverance Johnboy. I turned off the firewall <shudder> but the email hyperlinks still don't open Opera (v7.51). Having got this far I am inclined to think the OE is the problem. However, I have checked Tools > Options > Security, and can't see any settings that need changing... Bachelor |
