I run Win98 with Internet Explorer 5 - my problem is that when I click on hyperlinks in my e-mail in Outlook Express nothing happens apart from my modem lights flashing on and off a couple of times. I also notice that the same thing happens with some hyperlinks on web sites I bring up on IE 5.This problem only started happening a couple of weeks ago; before that everything worked perfectly. The only way I can run the above-mentioned hyperlinks is to copy them to Clipboard then paste it onto the address bar in my browser. Can you help please. (more…)

I have recently upgraded from Outlook Express to Outlook 98. I have an “email only” account with an ISP, but my actual internet connection is through a different ISP. The “email only” is a very cost effective account, and gives me the flexibility to retain a constant email address, regardless of who I may select in the future as my primary ISP. Outlook 98 shows both the connections in the “Tools-Options-Mail Services” menu, and checks incoming mail on both sites. However, when I send mail, it shows as originating from the primary ISP site whereas I would prefer it shows the “email only” site as the origin, and thus the “natural” return address. Under the previous version of Outlook Express I was able to nominate the “email only” site as the sender, this doesn’t seem possibly under Outlook 98. Any suggestions? (more…)
