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

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

Open File > Preferences from the menu or press Alt+P
Select Default browser
Tick the file types and protocols you want Opera to handle.

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...
