Cannot open links in e-mail

I can't open any links that are sent to my email.

A message box opens:

The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.  (who's who?)

How can I fix this problem?

It will be a security problem, so probably that your program anti virus, firewall or e-mail is to stop them.
You are the admin if it is your own computer.
Best off asking on a forum which is for your email client - Outlook/outlook express/hotmail etc who will know what to do.

    I would START by checking if your IE8 has all its flaws. Any time we're not able to open links in emails, the Internet Explorer problem, the majority of the time.

    Start button > Default programs > Set Your Default programs > left side, select Internet Explorer...
    He said "this program has all its defaults"?
    If not, click on choose by default for this program > tick on each entry in the list > save

    See if that solves all the problems you have.

    P.S. Check with your shipper, see if your sender uses Microsoft Outlook. If so, ask your sender to go to the Format of the mail and select HTML.

  • Cannot open links in Skype, WLM or saved HTML (Firefox will not answer)

    "I can't open links in conversation Windows Skype in a Firefox session running in the background, it flashes only the window borders. If I close Firefox and click on the Firefox links automatically open the link, but not everything with a session running in the background. Strange thing while having clicked on the link and began a new session of Firefox, it opens the legs as usual while clicking on the following links several times but close Firefox and restart and then click on the links in the Skype window, it does not. I have to bring up the context menu, then choose Copy address. »

    I see there is no answer to the problem that guy had and I have the same problem - links of Skype and Windows live mail will not open and there is more - FF does not open the html files that are saved on the pc, even you, I just saved 'em, but when I click on em nothing happens and when I right click and choose open with FF nothing happening.

    He worked for two weeks without problem and suddenly today links just do Skype flash exactly as in christianhbergs description and in windows live mail, they become purple but firefox does not react.

    as soon as I make IE as my default - links work, but not with firefox.

    So I guess that the problem is in firefox (no Skype or WLM in Win8)

    (running Win8 and FF25.0)

    I found the problem you!

    I don't usually turn off the pc, but I Hibernate it!

    While I had this problem, I decided to restart my pc.

    The problem disappeared after a reboot - so I suppose the FF problem was somehow linked with use of the memory to the hibernation.
