Resolved Hyperlinks blocked after Google Chrome uninstal

Running windows 7 with Microsoft Office 2007
After un-installing Google Chrome (missed the download with check box) all hyperlinks in outlook will not work
After trying various fixes including one from microsoft, I bit the bullet & re-installed Chrome & all the Hyperlinks work again!
Un-instal Chrome from the start menus link, originally I un-installed it from add remove, and the hyperlinks again will not work

Does anyone know of a fix that works?

Having chrome installed is not a problem (talking about the wife computer hers doesn't have as much installed as mine) but it is annoying that she can not use the Hyperlinks in Outlook with out it being installed

Hi Steve,
Done this, didn't work unfortunately, also tried repair on Microsoft Office 2007

Thanks for the suggestion Arie, but it still didn't work, so I've re-installed it! but as the wife says "she can access her email! "
Now how do I put in a major complaint in regards this pain in the arse called chrome! Ok I admit I missed the check box & installed it with something else, very unintensionally!
Regards Jac

 

Hi Arie, sorry for not getting back to you sooner,
When un-Installing chrome it does not ask which browser I want as default, possibly due to only having IE8 installed?
On my last attempt I searched all possible connections to chrome and reset those to appropriate programs
Due to work commitments I haven't had a great deal of time to spend digging deeper into the confusion, I hopefully will be able to get to it possibly this weekend, unless I plug the TV into mine & hope the wife doesn't Notice
will post back as soon as I can
Regards Jac

 

Give this a shot:

#88, left side, named: "set default web browser in windows.
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

This will down load a tool that when executed will have a three step process of to-dos.
Make sure no browser is opened.

Click on the "set browser" shortcut

1:
select browser

2:
make sure all preferred extensions are selected. (That's all of them on the list).

3:
autofind or browse to the chosen browser *.exe. ie; firefox.exe, iexplore.exe etc.

Set browser

Note that the default you desire is shown as default. Use test link to confirm that your preferred browser is now default.

 

Thanks Goddez,
will give it a go as soon as I can in the next few days

regards Jac

 

Thanks Again Goddez,
Great fix worked first go, un-installed chrome then ran the fix everything now works as it should, I'll remember to check all the boxes next time or is that un-check all the boxes?

Regards Jac

 

Hi jacrabbit,

Yahoo!. Glad this worked for you. Thank you for remembering to come back and share the results.

All extensions are to be checked. I believe they are checked by default but never trust an api doddab or windows to work as expected. A look see/check is just extra insurance.
