[b]SP2 KILLED OUTLOOK EXPRESS HYPERLINKS[/b] 1

[DRowland]

I'm Running XP Home and everything was running just fine.
Then I installed SP2 and the hyperlinks from Outlook Express are dead. I've checked to be sure IE is still default, and done the regsvr commands, but no success.
I see a lot of people with the same problem, who seem to solve it, but I have been unsuccessful. I had the problem a while back, and reinstalled windows. the links were back.
When I installed SP2, the links were gone!
What to do?

Are you getting the messages in plain text? Is there an attachment - perhaps there is something in the SP that stops Outlook displaying HTML, which can be a security concern.

Normally you'd get the message in plain text, and the HTML file attached if that were the case. I'm not sure if Outlook can be forced to do one or the other, but some servers can.

When I click on the hyperlink in the email, NOTHING HAPPENS!
