Yep, me again, you're welcome to groan as long as you know what I have to do!

My AVG was getting very unweildy and slowing my computer so I downloaded the latest version of the free Avast and uninstalled AVG - I do this as amatter of routine, and it's had the desired effect, my computer is much quicker now.

But it's had one unlooked-for effect, and now I can't follow any links in emails!

When I try, I just get this box come up.....

Any suggestions? Preferably helpful ones but anything that amuses may be welcome also.

It's saying it can't find a program to open the link with, and is asking to you point it to one.

Maybe AVG has somehow removed some file associations.

You should be able to just navigate to the firefox install folder, find firefox.exe and then open it up.

On an aside, you really should move off windows ME to windows 7 (at least), as ME has been unsupported now for a decade, and will be vulnerable to a whole host of security flaws.

Thanks I'll try that.

I've never heard of windows ME, I'm on Win7, no idea why you think I'm not!
