MemberYeah I have that sometimes…if I click it again, it often works but sometimes it just won’t work at all…is it something to do with Firefox blocking popups?

MemberI have the same problem, it fluctuates, in one conversation, links will work, in another, I have to copy and paste them into the browser.
I don’t think there is a way around it. Not a major problem for me really, just a slight annoyance.

ParticipantI *think* it may be caused by any pop up blockers that are running on IE, but I could be wrong. By either highlighting the url, then clicking it, or pressing ctrl, or alt then clicking the url will activate it.

Just to clarify with ya, even if IE is not your default broswer?

ParticipantMSN Messenger requires you to have a specific version of Internet Explorer installed before you can run Messenger. The “internal workings” are based from IE, whether it’s your default browser or not.

MemberOk cheers detn8r, I knew MSN needed a certain version of IE installed, was unsure about the default broswer thing though.
Thanks.

MemberSRY det for using bad title…
anyways… the problem seemed to been solved by no particular reason… maybe it was MSN MSGer’s own problem or some spyware that have been stopping me…
