Have a Vista Home Premium 32 Bit Toshiba Notebook. I keep getting the following error: Could not perform this operation because the default email client is not properly installed.
Whenever I try to follow an email link on a web page. I tried installing Outlook 2007 and Windows Mail Live, and of course I have
Windows Mail on my computer whether I want it or not. I get the same answer no matter what client I try to use. Of course, I can get the mailto address from properties, and it works just fine if I drop this into the address line of an email.
At the moment I'm using Windows Mail Live as a client.
I have looked at some of the threads on this topic, and I must confess I don't understand what most of this is all about. However I get worries about some of the remedies causing the computer to freeze.
I would really appreciate it if someone could explain in pretty simply language what is wrong, what I need to do, and how to protect my file etc if the computer locks. I have a continuous background backup to standalone harddrive, but I'd hate to have to start from scratch.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
