Need help from a computer geek please...
Having some problems. I open a email and it has a link in the email. I point at the link, and little hand shows up, but when I click on the links to open them up, I get no response. Please help me fix this problem.

what email program or web browser are you using? it sounds like either you have a pop-up blocker enabled or you have disabled the option to allow links in your email. 0 -
Outlooks express. 0 -

Sounds like a security setting but Ctrl is usually the "allow" key. I don't use Outlook Express so as this point...I'm worthless...just ask my wife...0 -

Is it just the one email, or does it not work with any other links in other emails? 0 -

Okay, I've got this figured out.
This became obvious when you said you "point to a link and a little hand shows up."
You're sorta like the blonde who used White-Out to erase mistakes as she's typing on her word-processor.
Use your mouse, not your finger.

OK, Non-Geek Jacob,[:D] That works, but why do I have to do that to make it open? Is there any thing I can do to make things open up like I use to by just clicking on the link?0
