[Links in Outlook mail not working - contact admin]

Gee...I have the problem with IE8....Outlook 2007. People send me Emails with links in them. When I click on the URL links, I get a notice that I need to contact the system admin. (I'm not on a network.)

I've done the following: 1. Open IE7.
2. Tools Menu > Internet Options.
3. Programs Tab > Internet Programs > select Outlook for Email.

I use Fierfox 3 as a backup. Thunderbird is a backup Email program. The links work fine there.

I'm frustrated.

What's the best fix???
