Hyperlinks disabled in Outlook 2007

I'm still having this same problem. Goes across all of my accounts, of which
AKO is one. Some text based messages are okay. Some not. No HTML based
messages work. Doesn't seem to matter what zone I put them in.

The problem seems to have started when that patch from couple of months back
came out. Will someone at MS please look at what that patch changed (as has
been requested? I've been out of the development game for a while but I can
work my way through a scenario like: 1. Outlook was fine. 2. Applied a
"fix". 3. Now Outlook is not fine. Gee, I wonder what the problem is?
Let's go blame it on something that did not change. Sorry. That doesn't fly.

No wonder I'm spending more and more time using freeware packages on my Mac.

I get the blocked problem on both my AKO account as well as on my Exchange
account. I also have a personal comcast.net account on the same machine and
it has the same problem.

It's per the army. That was about a month or so ago. So there's the root of

the issue. If you're using AKO e-mail... that's the problem



That is a good possibility. I was just wondering if that would be the
problem. But I can't tell because no one else has said it's been an army
problem. So... I guess call their tech support? Is everyone else having
the
problem on an army system? The weird thing is... it seems so isolated with

the cases. But I'm not sure. I'll try calling to day and seein' what's
come
about with it.

One other possibility occurred to me. Since I'm using my U.S. Army
email
account, all of my email is routed through their server. They just
recently
began stripping all file attachments with the following extensions:

.ace, .ad, .ade, .adp, .asp, .b64, .bas, .bat, .bhx, .ceo, .ce0, .chm, .

.cmd, .cpl, .crt, .dbx, .dll, .dot, .eml, .exe,

.uue, .uu, .vbe, .vbs, .vss, .vst, .vsw, .wmi, .ws, .wsc, .wsf,
.wsh, .xxe, and .zip.

Although the problem I'm having has to do with hyperlinks in HTML
messages,
I'm wondering if the blocking of these could be related to the new Army

security measures.

Using Outlook 2007. My error says "This operation has been canceled due to
restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact syatem admin." I am
the system admin. In association with my network consultant, we have reset
every security setting in IE, Outlook, Exchange, etc. Problem still
persists. Upgraded to IE 8 hoping that would sort it out. No dice.

My problem also started mid-April and I can only assume it was related to
the same patch mentioned already in the post.

No hyperlink from any email message will open from Outlook, but the same
messages will open if I forward them to a webmail app through IE - using the
same PC.

No other user on my network encounteres this problem. I am quite certain
the issue is within my Outlook.

Using Outlook 2007. My error says "This operation has been canceled due to

And did you reregister your web browser as stated in one of the hundreds, if
not thousands, of messages a five second search of this newsgroup for that
error would have found?

What good is this forum for if one cannot get the information needed to solve
an imminent and apparently wide spread problem. I “up-graded� to windows 7
recently [after problem plagued years suffering VISTA] and now Outlook 2007
is giving me this message when trying to open a hyperlink in an e-mail: “This
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
Please contact your systems administrator.� I am a single “home
professional� user – there is no third party administrator in a Windows 7
Home edition.
If Microsoft is not listening to its customers, it might be time to contact
Milberg LLC? Any Lawyers out there to help getting answers?

I have always been able to use hyperlinks in emails with Outlook 2007. After
a recent Windows automatic update, I can't use hyperlinks. When I click on a
link in an email I get a Microsoft Office Outlook Security Notice with the
message "Microsoft Office has detected a potential security concern. This
location may be unsafe". It continues with the web address, and it puts the
word "blocked" in front of the hyperlink. It gives me the option of "Do you
want to continue?". When I select "Yes", I get a Microsoft Office Outlook
popup window that says "Access is denied".

I have verified that I have all the latest patches (KB941275), I have reset
IE to default settings, I have checked all security settings in Outlook, but
nothing works. How can I fix this?

I'm runnung Windows 7 Ultimate, Office 2007. All the service packs/
updates have been applied. I followed the link to the answer that
"has been answered at least a thousand times here in this
newsgroup, as a five second Google search would have shown you" and
still have the same issue. I completely understand the frustration
one experiences when they feel that they have provided the answer to
the same question countless times. However, I can attest to the fact
that the reference provided ultimately did not provide a solution to
the problem. At the risk of being chastised for being redundant, I
need to ask if there are any OTHER potential causes/solutions to this
issue.
Thanks in advance.
