Hi Vincent, Just a quick check to do, make sure Internet Explorer is set as your default browser as this can sometimes cause unpredictable problems with links. In Internet Explorer go to Tools, then Internet Options, then the Programs tab and under the setting Default Web Browser make sure I E is your default, if not there is a button there to make it the default. Don't know if it will have any impact but worth checking anyway.
