1290358 2012-07-24 03:07:00 Some time ago I purchased a laptop running Windows 7. It has Outlook 2003 for email. I use IE as a web browser.
I have recently wanted to connect to website links contained in emails and get a popup saying that I cannot do that and to see the administrator. Also I have had some issues dowloading pictures in emails even when using the "allow download of pictures" option.

My old desktop machine running Windows XP and the same email and browser have no problems. I use this machine most of the time and the laptop is only for use when I need to move about. I assume there is something in the security settings on the laptop that needs tweeking, but I can't find what or where. Can anyone help please?
