Internet Exp 8 question

Hi,
I have Windows 7 / 64. The computer came with Internet Explorer 8.
All the previous Internet Explorer that I have had, when you are viewing and
reading a page, you could go to File-- Send- and had the choice Send it by
E-Mail or Send Link by e-mail.
With Internet Explorer 8, if you go File-Send- the choices to Send Page by
E-mail and Link by E-mail are grayed out. The only choice you have is to
send Shortcut to the Desktop.
My question is: how can I activate the 2 grayed out choices, so that I can
send the page by e-mail?
Thanks for any info.

INSTALL ONE. Windows 7 doesn't come with an e-mail client.
