Hyperlinks don't work in the new version of Windows Live Mail

I have a problem on only one of my computers when running the new Windows
Live Mail. I can not read embedded hyperlinks in email messages. If I click
on a hyperlink in an email an error message comes up with the link address
and then it says "application not found". Is there a setting some where on
my computer that needs to be changed?

Finally! I have been searching th enet. I have the same problem MS has not
been able to solve. I have a question. I think my problem started after
installing Firefox Mozilla. I removed and still have the problem. Did you
install Firefox?

I found out the answer myself after a few more hours of serching. For anyone

Thoma:

I got frustrated waiting for someone to respond that I ended up doing the
"reformat and reinstall OS" dance.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I have Firefox installed together with WLMail (although FF was installed
first) and no problem. Firefox is set default browser as is WLMail.
When I press any link within WLMail it will open in Firefox.
