hotmail problem

[mo26]

when i get emails or newsletter from (for example gamespot) they sometimes post me links, the problem is when i click on these links nothing happens, so i have to resort to TYPING IN THE ENTIRE LINK!
can someone plz tell me why these links dont open
(just for extra info, somtimes it does open, rarely, and sometimes it doesnt - which is most of the time)

sounds like a pop-up blocker is blocking it.
Does a window pop up at all or what.
Try holding the ctrl key when you click a link and see what happens

Check your security settings under internet options.
Try setting it to low and test. Just be sure to put it back up when done.

look at the options in the hotmail page. Look under the mail display settings. Try changing display internet content selection to 'display internet content' if its on suppress.

yes i think you are right, so long as i have the option ticked, i can open the link, mabye the option changes by itself and so that is why the link stops opening somethimes?
but till then, thanks
