91763 2002-10-22 09:37:00 all i can think of is that maybe the programs can't distinguish the html tags of the web address. try reinstalling ICQ. and updating to the newest version of messenger.

cheers,

91765 2002-10-24 02:13:00 Hi,removed and reinstalled icq and microsoft messenger and they now work ok.Yahoo on the other hand fails to open the link,it wont even attempt to open explorer,but still has the cursor change into the hand as if it recognises a link.Pitty cos even the camera works in yahoo ok and it is my prefered program.Its like something is missing between yahoo and explorer allowing them to work together.Been scouring the yahoo help sites without success.Searching microsoft knowledge base for clues was a mission that had me beat.Regards Dave. moamanz (1857)
91766 2002-10-24 04:04:00 did u also try reinstalling Yahoo messenger? wot version r u running for yahoo messenger? if it's the latest version try and scour search engines for any related news concerning Yahoo. Who knows, might come up with the solution.

cheers,
