Default links no longer functioning in OE 6

Can anyone help, before I : 1) try a System Restore to an earlier restore
point, or 2) plunk down the $60 for a MS consult? ...
It seems that for about the past week or so, links in email messages no
longer work- browser doesn't open and can't get to the linked page(s).
We are on WinXP/ SP3 and have all the latest MS updates. We use McAfee Virus
Scan, Windows Firewall, AdAware 2008 and have Windows Desktop Search...
(note- I posted this from another PC, if wondering different IP addy)
HELP, PLEASE!! Thanks in advance!

1. [Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | ] Set Program Access and Defaults
| Configuration that's already checked | Browser: Select "Internet Explorer"
here.

1b. Now check your settings he IE Tools | Internet Options | Programs |
Default web browser.

If no joy, see:

Hi Steve,

Check your Installed Toolbars as well as the Built-in XP Pop Up Blocker
in Internet Options. The Links won't work, if the Popup Blockers are set to
block all Popups.
