default mail client not properly installed

[Guest Bill B]

When clicking on their email address of the contacts page for any WEB site, I

get an error message "Could not perform this operation because the default

mail client is not properly installed".

 

Microsoft outlook is installed and working OK, I have set it as the default

mail client on Internet explorer 7 under the tools option.

 

Any help please

Thanks

Bill

What version of Microsoft Outlook?

Tried repairing the Microsoft Office install/reinstalling?

Did you install Windows Live Mail and then decide against using it?
