Sometimes while in a separate window, as in my weather station page, I can't follow a link within that page, but within internet explorer for example, the links work. Links do not work within yahoo messenger.
Can you help?

I'm not quite sure I understand completely.

Are talking about links on a web page that you are viewing in IE or are you talking about links to a webpage from a program you are running? or both?

Cheers!

It sounds like your computer doesn't know how to handle these links. You might have to go into Default Programs and change the default internet browsers if IE isn't set there. If you have Firefox you can set it to that as well.

You can find the default programs applet in the control panel under "Set program access and defaults" (xp) or "Default Programs" (vista)
