Firstly,I do not have a problem with my email (windows mail) as such, as I am able to send and receive emails fine. I also do not have a problem with IE as Google opens fine and I can access all websites. My problem lies in my emails. Every time I try to access a link in any email, a window comes up with a red cross in the corner and it says "Application not found". I have never had this problem until today. The only thing I can think of that I've done differently on my computer recently, is the otherday,I was in movie sites and had to download this DivX(R) player (which didn't work anyway) and with that came Google Chrome. Yesterday I uninstalled the Google Chrome and am wondering if this caused the problem. In simple language please as I'm not an expert and was also wondering if this has something to do with my IE settings. I apologize if I don't get back today as I have to go to work soon.
