Can't open hyperlinks

Are you kidding me? You are a freakin' GENIUS! Do you have any idea
how many unsuccessful "solutions" I have tried to remedy this problem?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. It worked.

I'm glad that whoever you're writing to helped you, but none of us knows who
that is or what you're talking about. The explanation:

No one knows to whom you are giving this information since you are not
posting on a real forum as you think you are and you didn't quote any of
the thread to which you are replying. You are using a web interface that
leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of us are using real newsreaders.
We don't see what you do. If you want to participate in Usenet, the better
way is to set up a newsreader. This is very easy to do and I'll give you
information about that below. If you prefer to use a forum, then here are
two excellent ones:

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
