Leo: thank you so much. I did the intenet tools and program options like you said, and found my email program there Incredimail and that fixed the problem Still wondering why this all happened to begin with.
Anyway, I am glad you that you are taking the time to help out. Nothing like this in Vista, Leo. Windows still wants to use Outlook.
Ive done everything that Im supposed to and whenever I click on something to send an email I get an error. DLL A device attached to the system is not functioning. A Collins. I did the above, changed the default mail client to Outlook Express, but when I apply and click an e-mail link in Internet Explorer, I find my default mail client has changed BACK to hotmail.
This is driving me nuts, can anyone help please? I had problems in getting gmail to be my default mail client. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall the notifier to get Gmail as my default.
Leo, Have a laptop, had to install new hard drive and reload everything. Can you please help? I am currently running Gmail Notifier, so I am all set with mailto: in my browser Firefox.
Now the question is how I can accomplish the same thing in Microsoft Word. No matter what I try, this still fires up Outlook. To make things worse, it also seems to make mailto: in Firefox revert back to Outlook.
The page does not sow a drop down on e-mails. I go to programs and it only shows default as internet explorer. I use Mozilla and Yahoo email.
I am trying to get my mail to default to Yahoo. Please advise. Yahoo has made a few changes with there default mail.
Upon downloading it you need to be sure to check that option before finishing the process. How about IE7? In IE7, the only default is Windows Mail. I would like to change it to hotmail. This worked quite nicely for me in IE6. Can you help? I must have gmail notifier.
I get notified. I must have gmail chat. I chat and I reinstalled it. What gives? If I have assisted you in any way so you may help another then this was entirely worth it. I have read your blog on changing your email default with some of the other franchise companies, but what if I have my own server?
This did not work for me, even after installing Yahoo Messenger 9. The drop down list on Internet Options only contains three options on my IE 8 I followed your instructions Therefore I have no alternative but to go round the houses and send forward the whole e-mail aritcle. Is this because this is a version of IE? Or is there something else that a non-computer expert needs to do or know? So Now What?
What u have suggested was absolutelu useless. I tried what u said on making yahoo mail my server, did not work..
I reloaded messanger and nothing.. By some fluke I ended up in a section calling for defaults to be set. This is a new computer to me, and I am not good at transitions, I see. I also note that there are two or three Explorers installed, apparently.
It giveS the message ordinal could not be located. You made may day. Then I made one more try passed on deductions I had made from all of the above. That did it. You may want to rewrite it for Windows 7, but it was close enough for me to find in Windows 7. My search was the exact message I was getting on the Windows 7 screen when I was trying to send and email directly from a pdf document. By the way, when I went to the Mail Icon I got another crazy pop up that was looking for a profile.
However the information they asked for meant nothing to me, so it was worthless. I have Win 7 and IE 8. The only option is Outlook as default mail. I would like to keep the version I have. I recently reformatted my computer to factory settings, but before I did that I had been able to change the default email to Hotmail. Any ideas? I have downloaded Yahoo tool bar and Yahoo Messenger and still do not get Yahoo mail in the list under Internet Options.
My internet service is Verizon wireless. My email address is myname verizon. Leo, Leo, Leo! I need help. I downloaded the browser tools with my yahoo messenger, but still do not show an option of yahoo mail being brought up as my default should I wish to click on a link on a website. Windows Live wants me to share my email addy password. That is not an option I wish to choose. I simply want to click on a website mailto link and have my yahoo email pop up. This was so simple to fix in my XP many years ago.
Where do I go from here? Toni Unfortunately, Microsoft is being arrogant in this case. Whenever you run Outlook, it automatically sets itself as the default mailto: address. They assume that if you are using it, you want it to be your main email client. I went into the Outlook options to try changing this. Maybe someone else out there has a solution.
Poppy will configure to let you know when any email hits your server for just about any pop account or IMAP account IMAP which will download all folders from your web based account. After much messing around with Gmail Notifier and Google Talk, neither of which made Gmail the default over Outlook, and turning off Outlook as my default email I was mighty frustrated. Nancy You may have Windows 7, and it looks different in there. Hope this works. I have tried all these fixes and nothing works as advertised.
I am running win 7 pro logged on as an admin and IE There is NO way here to select Hotmail. I DO want my Outlook to still be associated with my calendaring, appointments, etc.. That is, a IE mailto web link would use Hotmail and Outlook would go along merrily using pop3 type email. Any help please? This seems like it should be such a simple thing. I have years in IT with Microsoft software and I cant seem to fix this one on my own.
