Vista Outlook compatibility problem

I just bought a new HP a6110n pc loaded with Vista Home Premium. I also loaded Outlook 2002 which is my e-mail software. I seem to have a compatibility issue. Receiving and sending messages works fine. When I get a message which includes an internet link, when I click on the link though, I get a Looking for a Link Browser dialogue box and cannot get to the web page. The same message will work fine on my yahoo mail. for example I get the digital N.Y. Times. When I click on any link to get to an article, I get the dialogue box. If I forward that message to my yahoo mail and click on the link, no problem, I go straight to the web page.
I found no help on the Microsoft Outlook help and I also spent an hour in chat mode with HP and no help there either.
Any help??
Thanks,
Ken

 

Outlook Security settings

It sounds like you haven't changed the settings to allow links/pictures for the email you are trying to view. Right click the email and click Allow content or Allow pictures.

 

How do I do that

I right clicked on the message but didn't get anything that looked like Allow content or pictures?? Any suggestion??
