Outlook mail 'glitch' - 27th Jun 2009 7:36pm
After the OUTSTANDING success yesterday to sort out internet access on dad's elderly Win98 computer I thought it was appropriate to ask for help with a much lesser 'glitch' on one of my machines
The machine is not at fault - the problem is with Outlook which I use for email with Word as the message editor
I have used the same disk set to load Office 2003 on 5 machines. On 4 of them Outlook works fine but on one machine any web address (showing as blue/ underlined text) in a received post WILL NOT launch when I click on it.
What I get is a message
"this operation has been cancelled due to restriction in operation on this computer. please contact your system administrator"
I am of course the administrator - so that is not very useful advice. Clearly there is a "tick in a box" missing/ present somewhere which WILL ALLOW links to be activated from Outlook, but be damned if I can find it
Help please
