Weird mail problem

Hi all, when on a website and there is an email link if I click it I get an
error box saying
'could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not
properly installed'

I have set the default program to open with mail but no joy
I'm using vista ultimate 32bit
TIA

New unique auction were gaming hardware can be bought for as little as a
penny/cent.

For that to work, it normally has to be the installed email program, like
Windows Mail, or Outlook, which is set to be the default email program.

Which email program do you use?

Stating the OBVIOUS is one way to appear a smart cookie by an IDIOT.
