"contact us" bits on web sites
 

whenever i click on contact us bits on web sites all i get is a window message saying "could not perform this operation because the default client is not properly installed
my isp has suggested i reinstall outlook express and internet explorer...
does anyone think that is the problem and ifso how just these programs
have windows xp home version from time computers:confused:
please make if simple as new to these things thanks

Nitro,

When you click on a 'contact me' button or link you are actually issuing a command to start up your email client software and begin a new email message. If your email software is incorrectly installed or configured you'll get the message you refer to, likewise (although less likely) with Internet Explorer.

I suggest you first ensure your email client is set to be the default email handler (somewhere in OPTIONS/EMAIL SETTINGS in outlook express). If this setting is OK you may well have to re-install your email software which (assuming Outlook Express here) you'll probably find on your Windows XP CD-Rom.

I hope this helps.
