Outlook express linking problem

[65cobra]

I recently installed and then removed IE7 since then the links in my received emails do not work it just opens a blank IE window.  How do I fix this?

What do you mean you removed IE7? You can't do this... It is a part of Windows....

I was previously using IE 6.0  I then updated to IE 7.  I did not like it at all so I deleted it with the add remove programs list and it reverted back to IE 6.0, which I am currently using.

Okay, then.

So what email provider is it? MSN? Yahoo?

Its a small local ISP, I get the emails fine, I just have to copy the link and paste it in the browser where before I could just click on it.

Even the one that came from this forum won't connect, its just the URL thats blue in color, I click on it, a browser window opens but it stays blank, address bar and screen.

And all other links are fine?

None of the links in emails work, from costco, to travelocity to computer hope.  While I am in the web browser all links work like normal.

The problem is only when I click on a link inside the email, it does not matter who it is from.

Amazon, and costco and many others use links within an email to show a picture those pictures all show up but when i click on them they don't link up to the page they are advertising, it just goes to a blank IE window.

I'd say that is a problem with your ISP's email system. I think you should contact them about it.

What's the name of the company? I'll do a search...

its softcom  I have had the isp for at least 2 years though and never had the problem before.
