Clicking on Links in OE

For some reason, when I click on a link in my Inbox of Outlook Express, nothing happens. Could this be a security issue?

Is this for all messages, or just some?

All messages. I had this problem years ago and I forget what the cure was.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but when I go to any website now, I get a popup which states that Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active controls that could access your computer. It appears to be a Windows warning.

Yeah, it's a security setting in OE.

I *think* you can change it at Tools.. Options.. Security.. uncheck 'Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail'

It was already unchecked.

What version of Windows are you using? Sounds like your IE Security settings might have gotten bumped up

Windows XP SP2, IE 6. I changed the settings to Default.
