Outlook Express won't let me open links?

I recently downloaded Internet Explorer 8, now in my Outlook Express when I receive mail that has a link in it, it will not open the link. I right click on copy and paste the link. I checked all the settings I can think. It worked fine before.

If nothing happens when you click on a link:
Open Windows Explorer or on the control panel.
Go to tools | Folder options | Types of files.
Scroll to [NONE] URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT the shortcut URL: Internet) and select it.
Click Edit or advanced, depending on your version of Windows.
Choose 'open '.
Click on change.

"Application used to perform action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM may EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" - nohome (check the path to)
Iexplore.exe to ensure that it is correct and use the double quotes).

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below, you should have:

#1:
« %1 »,,-1,0,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (white)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

Protocol URL: HyperText Transfer with Privacy should be the same.

If the foregoing is correct, uncheck the box: use DDE.

    Outlook express won't come through

    My outlook express won't let emails through. I am getting an authorization and then an error will appear. Sometimes it will say: reception of messages, but none will come by.  A box appears and says that he put an end to the connection, maybe because of the connection to the server, the long period of inactivity or network connection. Also, I get a message on and which was completely removed several times on the file inbox and delete. I have no idea how to solve this problem or what I did to make it. I've never experienced this before.

    You probably have the widespread corruption of dbx files. Try in a new identity.

    File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

    In addition, follow these guidelines to help avoid this in the future.

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program.

  • Outlook Express won't help pls open suddenly.

    I just turned on my PC and my OE does not open, the first message that appears is tells me memory or drive may be full, which is not the case, with a code of Ox800Co13B, the other tells me that OE is unable to start because the file MSOE. DLL cannot be initialized. The version I have is OE 6.0 and Windows 8. Nothing has been changed or installed. It was working when I turned off last night and it works tonight, and that's what's happening. I'm no tech at all, so I have no idea how to get my e-mail program open now. I have so many things in there, I have and I am freaked. Pls. any help would be greatly appreciated. Since I can not in it, if there is a response back, due to the lack of work e-mail program, I'll keep checking back. Thank you all in advance.

    BAK files are backup OE files. They have something to do with OE.

    You don't have Inbox.bak or Webfire Inbox.bak files anywhere? You posted this earlier:

    Deleted items dbx.     The DBX file 187 KB (all are now showing modified as today is the date)
    Dbx air currents.                  File DBX 59KO
    The dbx files.                 File DBX 74KO
    Inbox dbx.           DBX 122 365 KB file
    Dbx in offline mode.                  File DBX 10 KB
    Outbox of dbx.                File DBX 187KO
    Dbx Pop3uidl.                File DBX 10 KB
    Dbx to sent items.        DBX 1 188 KB file
    WebFIRE 37 845 KB Inbox.dbx DBX file

    Do you have still the Inbox.dbx file and the Webfire Inbox.dbx file in the message store, or on the desktop if you did who?

    If they are still in the message store, rename them, and then drag them to the desktop.

    I'm sorry, but with all the bak files, or your own backup, it is the only tool that has a chance to recover the messages of these files
    DBXpress:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    There's no other way.

    You may need to run in the extract from disk Mode if its normal recovery mode fails to find lost messages.

  • Outlook Express - will not let me delete any message

    Outlook Express will not let me delete all messages?  How can I fix?  Thank you!

    You have corruption of dbx files.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    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.

    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Compact all folders as described below.

  • Firefox won't let me open a new tab

    Firefox won't let me open a new tab, I can open new windows, but not the tabs. It's recent, nothing happens when I right click the original tab or when I go to file, and then click New tab tab settings does not affect this

    The Ask toolbar is originally only in versions of Firefox 3.6.13 +. Uninstall this extension.

    There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:

    2. What is the exact verbatim error message? Otherwise, copy & paste it into a response.
    3. Have you tried to send a message and the message stuck in the Outbox?

  • My new Curve 9360 blackBerry smartphones won't let me open my profile option?

    Hi, I'm new to these two forums and blackberry in general so I cry for a little help from someone who is a little more advanced than me!

    I recently bought a Blackberry Curve 9360 and have since put it up to my tastes - well.

    But recently, I've changed the sound profile to silent, I was in a meeting and now the blackberry won't let me open the profiles option at all (by that I mean real option in the main menu which allows you to select which sound profile to use [the option 'Sound and alert profiles']) and nor it will allow me to open it by clicking on the small speaker located on the search bar.

    A friend showed me how to use "keep it Q" to change it, but every time I do this, it changes from Silent on vibrate only and nothing else...

    So I was wondering if someone could help me out and explain how this menu option to get back so I can put the unit on the "Normal" profile (or there may be another shortcut to do?) or maybe an explanation as to why he stopped me to enter all of a sudden - the blackberry is less than a week!

    Kind regards

  • My subscription of the CC is exhausted and it won't let me open CS6 any ideas?

    My subscription of the CC is exhausted and it won't let me open CS6 any ideas?

    There are two versions of DWCS6, a version of download/drive perpetual license bought for about US $400 and creative cloud version that comes with a subscription to the CC.

    If your subscription expires and you have the DWCS6 CC version, what you describe is the expected behavior. If you bought the $400 program version, you may reinstall and reactivate using the Adobe Id allowing you to purchase initially. Who will be the id registered with the activation info and may be different from your CC ID

    I would say before the reinstallation of your disks running the cleanup tool: use the Adobe Creative cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems if you still have problems after cleaning/uninstall/reinstall, you will probably need to contact Adobe directly: contact customer service
