From: John H Meyers on 7 May 2010 09:33 When you click a web link in an email message, Eudora asks Windows to wake up the default browser, to get it out of bed and accept the URL being passed as an argument; then it waits for that Windows function to return with a completion status. It has been reported before that IE has sometimes shown this same issue when invoked by links in other programs. Did you try turning off Eudora's "Launch" warning options? For reasons unknown, this sometimes causes my own Windows XP to hit a "snooze" button for a whole minute or two, while passing launch requests through the DLL involved in making these warnings, which persist even when Eudora is not running. It appears to be a Windows bottleneck that has never fully been explained. --

My default browser is Firefox so I can't blame the problem on Microsoft. Sometimes if I turn my PC off, let it rest for awhile, and turn it back on, it will respond to links without the snooze. But it always comes back. I wonder if there is a DLL which can be updated to resolve the problem. Bill Samuel

If there is, I expect it to be in Windows, since all that Eudora does is to call upon standard Windows APIs. You could take a stab at "compatibility mode" (try XP) for Eudora; this itself merely slightly changes the Windows environment, in some way that I've yet to see fully explained by Microsoft. -- |
