When I get a message and click on the link, I receive a beep from my computer
and it does not go to the web to open the subject?

Please help me fix this.
Thanks

Bill

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

You may need to reboot.

While this is an Outlook Express newsgroup, the fix should be the same for
links in an Oulook message.

1. You click on a link and an IE window doesn't even open:

2. You click on a link and an IE window opens but it doesn't load:

Try re-registering all of the DLLs listed in this KB article...

You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window or Nothing Happens After You
Click on a Link

3. Installing the latest Cumulative Patch for IE may solve the problem as a
side-effect. Check in at Windows Update.

That "sounds" like a Pop-up blocker. If you are using a Pop-up Ad
blocker program, check its documentation to see if it is blocking the
opening of a new web browser and how to workaround that. Many make a
sound when they block a pop-up. And depending on the settings, opening
a new browser window can be considered a pop-up.
