Well, I see a few possibilities for possible fixes, but IMO you're probably
better off doing a Restore Point if there is one from just before the
problem started and you did not make a lot of system changes like installing
programs and such. The biggest problem I have with just trying to fix the
problem is that if that got messed up (probably something to do with
registry), then what if there are other problems that you didn't notice yet?
If its just the file associations, you can go to

ws-Vista.html (http://tinyurl.com/2xsewp if that link does not work), and
download and install the .html and .htm fixes.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Computer suddenly cannot open any links.
Greetings to all you helpful people,
This is a Dell laptop less than 1 year & it's OS is Vista, which uses
Windows Mail.
My computer has suddenly stopped being able to open any links or short cuts
to links. I went to bed with the computer performing well & woke up with it
acting as if it were a stroke victim. All I get is Application not
available. It won't open my desktop short cuts to online links, it will not
open links within emails, nor will it open links within a web page. I
goggled this situation & it addressed a possibility of JavaScript needing to
be redownloaded...which I did. The download went in without any
difficulties but it changed nothing. I still cannot open any links. You
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jan
