Guest w.hatton Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Hi any one who can help. I am running Mozilla Thunderbird as my e-mail program. All was fine but suddenly, and I don't know when, when I click a link to an internet site within the e-mail nothing happens. I have the same problem in outlook express no links work. My firewall program is Zone Alarm Security Suit, I have checked the settings and all seem fine. I am also running Advanced Windows Care. Can any one help please as it is driving me to distraction. -- w.hatton
