    For the past six weeks or so I have now been unable to access any URL or website shown in my incoming E-Mails. I use IE6 (or Firefox) and Incredimail (recently upgraded to Incredimail Premium). I have conducted a search and have tried various suggested remedies but no joy - I click on the Url or button (eg on the order now button on a Choice Stationery E-Mail) but nothing happens. Suggestions welcome. Could be a recent Win XP Critical Update?

    Aware of the KB Article and have tried that although I do not use Outlook Express 5 and the KB article does not refer to Win XP. Have also looked at rgsrvr32.urlmon.dll and other .dll's. Thanks for the try. I have e-mailed Incredimail also.

    Now fixed thanks to Google, Micronet Mail Archive and Bruce Satow at Berkeley (Multiple blessings on your head my man).
    Works with any E-Mail client and Browser
    Open control Panel
    Go to Add /Remove programmes
    Left Hand side click on 'Set Programme Access and Defaults'
    In the Window double click on 'Custom'
    Choose your default Web Browser and your default E-Mail Programme
    Click OK. A Window with a process Bar should pop up
    Give it a try and it works
    I accessed WinBBS from my latest E-Mail Notification.
    Brilliant. Hallelujah:D
