May 22, 2011Try re-registering these dlls and see if that helps with the links issue.
Start | Run | type, or Copy/Paste, these in one at a time and try again. (Note the space in each command).
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dl
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
In IE, go to: Tools>Internet Options>Programs. Click: Reset Web Settings – (uncheck box for homepage) – Click Yes.
Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express or in Word

Open the Windows menu.
Type “default programs” (not including the quotation marks) under Start Search.
Click Default Programs under Programs.
Now click Set your default programs.
Highlight Internet Explorer under Programs.
Click Set this program as default.
Now click OK.
Close the default programs window.
