If you are getting the same error while running the Outlook then it might be possible that you are not having the administrator tight to run the same program.

7. Click Apply, and then click OK.
If you receive a message when Internet Explorer starts telling you that IE is not currently your default browser, click Yes to make it your default.

Hi
Had the same problem before and resetting websettings change IE to default none worked .
I realised I have uninstalled google chrome. if you did .
Go start
run type regedit
hkey local machine/software/classes/htmlfile
check under default that the name is htmlfile and not chromehtml or firefoxhtml
if it is not htmlfile right click default, modify and change to htmlfile
exit reg
should work
