timmera Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 When I try to open a link in a e-mail message or a link I placed on my desktop, it doesn't work. I receive (translated from dutch): "This action is cancelled due to system adaptations. Contact your system manager." How do I fix this?Thanks in advance,timmera, Netherlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 WELCOME to NP. I had exactly the same problem myself after I uninstalled Firefox. Someone on here solved the problem for me. It was a simple setting. So please hang on in there and join in the rest of the forum topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 More information such as your Browser and e-mail client would be helpful.Here is some information about the problem with Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.

timmera Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 @ Scarecrow ManThanks for your advice. I followed it and found that the checkbox in IE wasn't ticked, so I changed that followed all further instructions. But the problem is still there. And you were right about the information I gave. I use IE and MS Outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 @ Scarecrow Man I use IE and MS Outlook.I didn't think you could use them both for e-mail. I thought that one or the other had to be DEFAULT. I only use Outlook as an address book in CONTACTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmera Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Why should it be impossible to use Internet Explorer and MS Outlook together? It are two different programs, the for surfing the internet and Outlook as my e-mail program. The good news is that after I followed the advice - as I confirmed in an earlier e-mail - and I shut down and started my PC again, the links in e-mails are working again. There is only 1 problem left now: internet addresses that I put on my desktop as shortcut, will not open. I know where I have to be to correct that (Configuration - Fileoptions) but I can't figure which extension I have to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Sorry, I see now that you said IE and Outlook. I was thinking of Outlook Express and Outlook. One or the other has to be the default e-mail client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
