Hyperlinks fail from Outlook Express
My post SP2 computer, running OE v.6, returns an "Invalid syntax error" message when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail. Instead of going to the indicated URL, I get:
The page you are looking for might have been removed or had its name changed.
Every hyperlink generates a referral to
s: homepage. I can get to the URL by manually typing or cut/paste the address. Any ideas about what is going on...or, even more important, how to fix it?Please try the following:
- Open the s: home page, and then look for links to the information you want.

The URL linked to what seemed to be the answer to my question: "You need to go into the Tools options. Go on the Security Tab and uncheck the box where it says "Block Images and Other External content in HTML e-mail""
I went to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security, but there is no such box (that I can find!). I looked in the Internet menu, with my settings on (custom) "medium".

That's it! Of course, I was looking in Internet Explorer...to which the URL refers. But, indeed, the required box was in OE.
Many thanks,
...I just hope I haven't associated too many files with OE via control panel :smileysurprised:

That's odd. It was referring to OE after SP2 was installed too.
Can you check and see that IE is associated with HTTP urls?
Go to Control Panel>Folder Options>File types and see if IE is associated with "URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol"
