• How to configure firefox to open outlook e-mail links in a new tab instead of having this "crush" a tab currently open?

  How to configure firefox to open outlook e-mail links in a new tab instead of having this "crush" a tab currently open? For example, that I have a tab open and consult the information about this. An email comes in via outlook and I want to read a confined link. When I click on the link, it will open in the tab I have currently open. I would like to open it in a new tab.

  You mean Outlook, the standalone version and not the new iteration of Live (live.com) mail to Outlook.

  I think that the default is to open in a new tab in the last active window, but you can check it out here and replace the default value:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and change it to 3 and OK change

  The options are:

  -1 = apply the setting in Options > general > tabs of external links (default)
  3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
  2 = open external links in a new window
  1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

• How to make a button link e-mail 0.9 to open outlook instead of my gmail account

  I have windows 7 on a new computer and when I try to send a link, it goes to my account gmail rather than with outlook. This is a new computer. On my old computer with the same operating system the email link button opens my outlook account so that I can send the link. Does not include why it works on the old computer but not new.

  Folders.dbx is probably damaged.
   
  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
   
  The path to the message will be very similar to this:
   
  C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express
   
  With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
  Note these possible side effects:
   
  When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

• E-mail links are not open now. I just get a blank white page. This just started happening, and I don't know how to correct it.

I want the link to open in Firefox, and they used to. I thought that it was show a blank b/c I had not "downloaded photos" on e-mail before clicking on the link, so I tried and which seem to help, but this morning I downloaded images and then clicked on the link... nothing but a blank white page!

• cut and paste text from an e-mail sent in a new email. Text then disappears when sent. Recipient gets a blank page.

  I need to regularly send a text to a particular recipient with only the day and date which is different every time.

  I noticed after updating to V24.1.1 that were to happen, the text would have gone, just like the e-mail was sent.
  After checking my 'sent' folder, I found that the e-mail was a blank page. Conformation of the recipient showed that they had received an empty email.

  Another thing (boring) which is now occur when you type, the cursor will often jump to the upper-left corner of the page and continue to reproduce typed words.

  This does not occur in any other application requiring the seizure, that is to say MS Word 2013, Wordpad, or Notepad.

  Any ideas as to why.

• Windows Mail staying don't default step

  Until recently, Windows Mail was my default program for mail and newsgroups. But I've also used Outlook as another user connected to a different domain. Then I installed MS Office 97, as well as his version of Outlook, which was not compatible. So I uninstalled the old version of Outlook, and the next, I was connected to the other account, I opened the mail with the new version of Outlook. It is configured with no prompt, but then when I logged on my main account the default mail had been reset to Outlook.

  I've changed the link in the menu start of Windows Mail and when it came he asks if it should be set by default and I answered Yes. But since then if I closed and reopened Windows Mail it always reports that it is not the default.

  If I choose the utility of default programs, it shows Windows Mail (Newsgroups), but the associated files do not include e-mail (.eml) files. Outlook displays the email as not checked. Should I reinstall Windows Mail? Can it be done without a Setup disk?

  Here's how to set Windows Mail as the default email association: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/83185-windows-mail-default-associations.html.  If it is already there, then delete it and follow the instructions to add back (by the link in the article).  Note If Windows Mail is not listed, there is a link to add to the set of default programs so that you can choose it provided.

  No it's not a registry fix (well, actually it's just that we don't know where he makes the changes - which "s true of most of the applications in the control panel).  Once it is added, check it out and then click on it add as the default for everything what you want that is listed.  We hope to add this way will restore all of the default options, some of which may have been lost or corrupted (if all goes well, including electronic mail).

  In the registry key to change the default mail client is stored in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive as follows: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command].  You asked and I finally found him.  The problem is that if we knew the program we want to here instead of what is currently there, that we do not know the commands that follow the simple registration of the path.  For example, mine is Outlook 2007 and it reads: ' "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\Office12\OUTLOOK."» "EXE" - c IPM. Note/m '%1' note all entries that follow Outlook.EXE.  I have not the slightest idea of what they mean, or what would be appropriate if anything for Microsoft Mail (and enter the wrong thing could spoil Microsoft Mail completely - just not not being is not a defect but it can cause the program to function or other damage). A good rule to follow is if you don't know what you doiing in the registry, LeaVE IT ALONE.  I have looked hard for entry but can't find it anywhere.  If you go to try this despite my warnings, then first create a system restore AND registry backup point - then it may be possible to recover, everything what happens.

  A word of warning, do not use Registry cleaners, Registry Booster, fixers registry or something like that - none of them are any good, and many of them can cause a lot of damage.  If you have everything installed, removed and never to use again them if you are evaluating your registry and your system base.  It is common knowledge among the 'technicians' but is not widely published.  I've been involved in routed where it causes so much damage that we had to do a clean install as our only option.  Vista does very well on its own.  Don't risk your system by using such a program.

  There is no way to reinstall all Windows Mail.  To reinstall Windows Mail, you will need to rei - install the entire Vista operating system (there is no download separated - it is built into the system).  I don't think you want to go this route if you will not even consider a system restore.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• When I clik on a link to view another Web page or another document, a blank page appears (a single "point of png'). How can I solve this issue?

  The links are located on the emails I receive from authorized sources. When I click on the links to read the additional documents (another document) or display a picture, I get a blank page with a single point in the middle of the page. The tab header says it's an image (1 x 1 pixel) PNG. Any suggestions to fix this?

  Often, links to email in bulk are routed via a follow-up rather than service directly to its final destination. If you look at the address bar on the image page, it seems like one of these intermediaries rather than the page you expect to load? If you click on the address bar and press ENTER to retry the address, which does nothing?

  It is possible that the security software or security add-on kills a redirect from this intermediate page to the final destination. For example, I think the anti-banner Kaspersky functionality could do that.

• Cannot attach files in any email AOL, yahoo or the company. Also only shows blank page when access yahoo email.

  In any web mail program AOL, Yahoo, my companies, you cannot attach files when you compose an email. By the icon/button attach it says "no file selected" (or when you switch on it). This also happens in safe mode. The browser speed is also very slow. Once logged into my yahoo mail, I get a blank page. In the title bar, it says I have x amount of email.

  I reinstalled Firefox and for about 60 seconds, it was fast and yahoo opens up very well and I was able to reach yahoo emails and on behalf of my company. After this he returned to its slow and not be attached and yahoo opening a blank page.

  I have run spybot and deleted and malicious software threats found them all. I think something infects Firefox. IE and Chrome do not have this problem. Any help would be appreciated as I am at a loss.

  antivirus was not a problem since it was not installed. Firewall settings are fine. I just finally solve this problem. SpyHunter was able to detect two of the hijackers that other programs do not have, and this fixes the problem. As I said in the original post I did not suspect that this was the problem. The lesson is to run several malware programs, until you find one that eliminates the problem, if you think that malware as the problem.
