They used to work, but now, when reading a News Group, if I click on a
highlighted link to a website, nothing happens. I obviously changed
something somehow ... How do I fix this?

TIA for your help!

What is your default browser?
What other browsers are installed?
 
If you have IE7 I have no clue. If you are using IE6...

No Links
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

If you click on links in OE mail and news and they do not work, it's because
Outlook Express is not your default mail and news program and IE is not your
default browser. Do this:
1--In Outlook Express, go to Tools | Options and make sure that
"Make Outlook Express my default mail program" and
"Make Outlook Express my default news reader are checked.
2--In IE, go to View | Internet Options | Programs
and select OE for mail and news.
Also, be sure "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the
default browser" is checked.

Frank, Wesley, thanks for your help. I guess I should have mentioned which
version of IE I'm using - I'm on IE7. The first link you gave me Wesley did
the trick - everything is fine now. Thanks again!
