trying to click on links in emails has stopped working on my pc. i get a pop up when i click the link saying

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control pannel"

you need too set an email program too be your default email reader (as it sounds like nothings been selected) and you can do this by opening internet explorer and going to the tools menu and selecting the programs tab then selecting from the email pull down menu, choose whatever mail program your using....
