Mail link problems...

[jasony]

When I click on any link that is a &quot;mailto&quot; html tag, i get 50+ Internet Explorer windows that open up saying that the page cannot be displayed. When you click on any such link, it should open a &quot;new mail&quot; window from Outlook Express, with the &quot;to&quot; address already there for you. Is this an IE problem or an Outlook Express problem??<br>
If anyone could help with this I would appreciate it. I am running win2k (no beta) P3-500, 256RAM 13GigHD. I would reinstall IE/OE but it is not an option in &quot;Remove Programs&quot;<br>
I cannot seem to find Outlook express for Download to see if I can reinstall it over the existing install...What's up with this?<br>
Help please. This 50+window thing is ridiculous...<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

The one thing that pops into my head immediately is what is setup as your E-Mail Option within Internet Options ¦ Programs? Do you happen to have Office installed and could possibly check if Outlook would do the same thing? Does it happen with every address, or just certain ones?<br>

It seems that windows has a problem with association links from other programs that IE, there is a fix for office 2k, if you upgraded from NT4 to 2000 its a registry fix, that reasociates the handling of hyperlinks in the windows enviroment, i know that this seem stupid, but i work for a major universty as an IT professional and i have done that many times, cause ppl couldnt open hyperlinks form different applications.
