Send link and send page doesn't work in IE7

"Send link" and "send page" doesn't work. When I click on either of them,
nothing happens. I have to copy the link I want to send, open Outlook
Express, and paste it in. Not nearly as convenient as the old method!
Please advise. I've tried switching Tools>Internet Options>Programs to a
different email program and then back, but it doesn't work. Help! Thanks.

Thanks. I tried all of those things and still nothing. I also uninstalled
Beta 2 and installed Beta 3. Same thing. I like everything else about the
new program. Darn.

Same thing happens in IE7 Beta 2 running under Vista Beta 2. With due
respect to "PA Bear", why do we need all these work-arounds? Isn't what TT
reports a bug that needs fixing? If not fixed in IE7 Beta 3, can the average
user expect the Toolbar menus to work as they should by the time the next
build or (Vista) release candidate comes out?

Sorry "PA Bear", I had to vote NO as the helpfulness of your posts as the
solutions they contained didn't work for me either.

Here's what I would consider a helpful post: "Hey, go to Windows Update. A
new patch is available that fixes the problem."

Why isn't such a patch available already?
