From: bandi on 24 May 2010 19:23 Am unable to open websites when they show up in Outlook Express 6. Anyone know why? When I click on an URL all I get is a BONG. Am running WinXP Home Edition w/SP3.

From: bandi on 25 May 2010 23:12 Thanks, Bruce. That fixed my problem. Although the instructions you sent were not too easy to follow. Apparently they were for a different brand of Windows. Thanks again.
