Outlook Express - cannot click on and open items within email. Help! 1

[treasurespast]

I'm not very good at this computer thing, so please bear with me. I use Outlook Express for my email. For the last few days, I've encountered this problem. In the body of an email sent to me, when something should be able to be clicked on and then it will take me somewhere else (what's the proper word for this?), all I get is a "blink, blink" sound. Nothing else happens. Say, if eBay sends me an email that says an item I watch for has been listed, I used to be able to click on that item description in their email and go right to it. Now, all I get is "blink, blink". How do I correct this, and is it because of some recent MS update I downloaded or is it something in my McAfee security? Help, please!

Hi,

it's probably some popupstopper that stops the link from opening a new internet window. Try holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key when clicking on the link.
