I cannot open links in my email anymore.
I get a message saying the application was not found.
Can anyone offer suggestions

Can you tell everyone what platform you're using?

What OS, version, which email client and which browser? That'll probably help.

Same problem here....I used to be able to open up the links from my emails, but I can no longer do so.

I use juno, accessing email online via webmail. I do not believe it is an email client issue. To test, I forwarded an email to my MS Outlook app, but the links do not work from their either.

I copied & pasted the shortcut directly to my browser (IE v7), but I also get the same message: "The page cannot be displayed..."

I am at work, using MS Windows XP SP2.

My guess is that it has something to do w/ the LAN settings, proxy server, etc...but I have no evidence that this is true. I've been working with my current setup for at least 4 months w/ no problems. This just started happening about a week ago. I haven't heard that our network settings have changed. Oh, and links from other emails work perfectly fine (emails from espn.com, tigerdirect, etc--they all work fine).

If anyone else has ideas what settings I might need to change....would love to hear suggestions!!

Thanks!!

Hey, the same thing is happening to me. Did some kind of change happen in the latest Windows update? I'm using XP sp2 with Outlook and Crazy Browser as my default browser, but the links don't work in IE7 either. I note this last post was back in April, but this just started happening for me last week.

Has anyone figured it out yet?

I had no problems opening the links from other PCs...just that one PC--my main work PC. Reinstalling the PC fixed it! LOL

I know...not a real solution...but I had been needing a fresh install anyway, so that was just the excuse that pushed me over the edge!

Sorry I'm not much help. Yeah, my guess is that it was some Windows or IE update, in combination with something else, but I certainly have no evidence to prove it.

*sigh* ... not the first time I've ever been stumped ... won't be the last!!
