847128 2010-01-08 20:58:00 If a site is highlighted and I click on it, I get a message "operation cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer".

Any ideas how I can fix this?

847129 2010-01-08 21:01:00 Looks like that error can appear, if IE (Internet Explorer), isnt the default browser. Or try what it says here (support.microsoft.com) Speedy Gonzales (78)
847130 2010-01-08 21:36:00 Hi Speedy. Thanks for that.

IE8 is my default browser and the first section of resetting Tools doesn't work.

I have no other computer that I can import from so I might just have to change my browser - Firefox?

847131 2010-01-08 21:40:00 I would need more info.

What Office 2007 application are you running when you get the error?

Is it Outlook?

When you say hilighted do you really mean it is a link?

847132 2010-01-08 21:52:00 Hi Sweep. Yes it's Outlook and yes it is a link. Bryan (147)
847133 2010-01-08 21:57:00 You can try adding the entry manually. Or get teamviewer. And I could add it from here. If the entry for IE isnt in the registry (there's only one entry in the registry here), that you put in (from what it says on the MS site) Speedy Gonzales (78)
847134 2010-01-08 23:08:00 By any chance have you had google Chrome on this PC ?? if so Have a read of this (www.google.com).

You can also Try this (www.local-it-guy.com).

847135 2010-01-09 06:50:00 Thanks WT.

I tried the second offering, it works a treat.

I do recall that I did try Chrome, didn't like it and uninstalled it. Obviously that is where the problem lies.

Thanks again to you and Speedy.
