Default mail client is not properly installed. How can I fix it?

I have a Windows 7 Home Premium desktop computer. I've been running Internet 7, I don't know how, but he jumped at Internet 8 so that's what I use now. I have no problem getting my Email or mail. There are just some Sites that I click on that I have a Popup that says "cannot perform this operation because the default mail Client is not properly installed. Why did I get this Message only on some Sites and not others?  Someone has an answer for this?         Thanks for any help.   Odell Whitman.

There is no Internet 7 or 8 there is IE7, 8 & now IE9.

IE9 is released in 2011 and should be installed via windows update some time ago

  • Default mail client is not properly installed

    I get this message when I click on an e-mail link. Default mail client is not properly installed. How can I fix it

    Happends error because you have installed/used a different browser, then Internet Explorer, then during the uninstallation of the browser, you have broken the link between your default browser.

    The e-mail client has no path. To fix it, try to open your current browser, go to tools > Options, and then set the default browser. Close and your e-mail program. Re-open your email and try to open a hyperlink again, see if that fixes.  If not, go into Internet Explorer (if you are not already) and go to tools > options > advanced down, press reset, do not forget to reset personal settings, and then make sure the "default" browser is selected, and close.  This fixed my problem and is recommended for a few other places, give it a try.

    Edit: If it does not, what email program are you using?  Set it as default value (via the options of the program) also do so via the browser, Internet Explorer you go tools > Options > and set your e-mail by default also program...

    Hello

    You have a common problem of Windows 7. You must set a default e-mail program and Windows 7 did not come with a pre-installed email program.

    The default e-mail program must be installed on the computer - for example Windows Mail (Vista), Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, etc.

  • Cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed... help

    I can't send an e-mail from a link on a page without getting this error... "could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed"...    My windows mail is set as default and I can receive and send him good, please help.

    Thank you

    A program is defined as default does not mean that it has considered all of the default roles available.  In the case of Outlook 2007, there are 13 total default values that can be assigned, and it should have each of them.  It is possible to default Outlook for e-mail, but not the default value for write links in web pages.

    Unlike Windows XP & Vista, Win7 does not have a default email Client. [What were thinking?]

    You will need to install a (e.g. MS Outlook;) Windows Live Mail; Thunderbird) , and then set it as a default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) article in Set Program Access and defaults of the computer , then restart your computer before any function send to or MailTo will become available.

  • "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed" when you use Windows Mail

    Original title: loss of entrance of Protocol in the list of saved files

    I use an old Toshiba laptop of two year with Vista as an operating system. It came with a trial version of Microsoft Office already installed. I had no use for it then after the trial expires I uninstalled. This seems to have created a minor problem with the e-mail program. When I visit a Web site and click on 'Contact us' I get an error message as follows "cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." I suspect strongly as during the uninstallation of office he removed a protocol in the list entry, similarly, the bottom of the list of the saved files. A check with other similar computers with Vista installed seems to confirm this. If someone at - it a quick fix to this problem? I don't want to resort to installing a whole new email software to fix this minor problem if I can avoid it.

    Hello Karena R, yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail, and I must say that I prefer Windows Mail Live Mail program. After making sure that Live Mail is the deafult for all messaging functions and that the entry "Mail Protocol" was now back to the list of saved files, I checked the problem mentioned in my original post. He is not fixed! Another small problem is fixed now if. In my "drafts" mailbox I have some e-mails stored there and when I click on one of them upwards now comes an email with the appropriate address inserted in the address line. Who could not before. I used to get this error message, which is now the new title of my post. So why the difference when I click on email address that I find on Web sites? Now, I also find that by Michael following the instructions (below), I do not see an entry "mailto" but his suggestion to step d. type in "URL Protocol" is not appropriate because it is already there. The installation of an entirely new email software should have my computer all the necessary entries for the new program to function properly in all respects. So what's happening? It begins to look as if uninstalling the program Office has pulled something real Vista operating system.

    It's a good thing, I thought of the research on other boards for my missing post.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\mailto

    c. in the Edit menu, select new, then clickstring goodwill.

    d. type of Protocol of URL as the name of the new string value

    e. exit the registry editor

    Are you doing your e-mail on a web site? If so, you probably haven't
    set up a default email client. The e-mail client is the program
    you use for mail, not a website. Standard e-mail programs are
    Outlook.exe, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, strong Agent, etc. He
    are a lot of choices.

    When you try to access a service of my browser, I get a message saying that I can't because my default mail client is not properly installed, but it doesn't tell me what I'm supposed to do either. So... What am I supposed to do?

    Go to control panel | Default programs and set your default email program, if you have a.  If you use the webmail, you probably can't set.

    So that the MailTo URL work, you should have a real email client installed, not only to access messages using your web browser.

    If you download and install Yahoo Messenger, you should be able to make Yahoo webmail your default e-mail client.  To know with certainly, however, please come back to this thread, click on modify just below your post, change the Version of Windows, menu dropdown to indicate your version of WIndows, then click on submit.  Without knowing your version of Windows, it is difficult to formulate definitive proposals.

  • Resolve "default mail client is not properly installed" thank you

    Just read on the issue and learned a good bit about why I have this problem. Came across this, when I tried to send an e-mail within a Web site. Looking for an answer to guide a novice semi. Understand that I need to know how to set the default value in windows and browser through the registry (?). Thank you.

    Webmail is not a mail client. There is a solution for Gmail and Yahoo, but that's all.

    I just bought a new computer today and I tried to respond to a Craigslist post... which is then this error message appeared.  I don't know how to fix.  Can anyone help?  Thank you, Rick

    Hi ESPLongBeach,

    (1) what you email client use to send email (Outlook, Windows mail, Windows Live Mail)
    (2) is your email set up for the email client

    It could be that you need to set your default e-mail client.

    1. click on START and then default programs.
    2. click on "set your default programs."
    3 look to the bottom of the list for the e-mail program use. Until it clicks.
    4. toward the bottom of the page, there will be a link that says: set this program as default. Until it clicks.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." I understand that Internet Explorer 64 bit cannot be set as default browser

    No, I want a link on my site for people to send me an email...

    If they use an email client will have no problem. If this is not the case, they would have to copy and paste the link into their Webmail program field, so the link should be your actual address and not something like send me an Email with your address buried inside.
