Links in an email don't work

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I am running XP-Pro SP2 with Norton anti-virus and anti-spam.
For some reason, when someone sends me an email containing a link. When I
click on the link nothing happens. And nothing has changed in this computer
that I am aware of, either.
Can anyone help here?

Hi Michael

Try this:

From Start>Run type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs and
click on 'Reset Web Settings'.
