I have a Dell 1.9ghz 256 ram and 40 gig hard drive running XP.I had the machine set to automatically recieve updates.Around the time I recieved an update from microsoft I lost hyperlinks in outlook express and internet explorer.The links are still blue and underlined,but when you click on them nothing happens.If there is a link to someones e-mail,it works, but the links to websites don't work when selected. Tried moving back to an earlier restore point, but it didn't cure the problem. Have beenthrough the security settings in internet explorer but couldn't fix.

You probably have a dll problem. Under add/remove programs, select IE click remove. This should give you the option to repair it.
When that runs, it may report problems with one of the DLLs. If this does not repair it, you can try re-registering the files manually

Start > Run:
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 shell32.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Hope this helps. Good luck!
