Hello Tech Gurus,

I'm not sure if this is the correct BOARD to post this question, if it's not please advise.

I recently got a compaq deskpro 4000 from a friend; his company was updating their computers.

Although I receive several techrepublic emails regularly, i.e.; win95/98 tips, win2000 tips, security solutions, disaster recovery... I'm still quite the novice in many respects, as my question below will confirm.

I've been having a problem with links in all emails I receive. when I click on the link I get a message saying - cannot find PROGRAM -

I have exhausted what little knowledge I do have in trying to correct the problem but I've had no luck.

What is causing this to happen?
How can I correct this problem?
The OS is windows 98se plus

I would appreciate any help

Thank You,

Jose Antonio

Sounds to me like the plug in isn't associating with the correct program to launch the attachment straight from Internet Explorer. Take a look at the type of file you are receiving and re-install that software. If it's zip files, reinstall winzip, pdfs - reinstall acrobat reader, docs - reinstall word/office, etc.
