Hi,
I recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, and have installed Windows Live Mail due to the removal of Windows Mail. I am having a similar issue with Windows Live Mail in Windows 7 as i did before in Vista with Windows Mail. It seems that whenever i click on a hyperlink in an email i receive an error message pops up saying "There was a problem sending the command to the program." but opens the page anyway...the error message in Vista was a little different but generally the same thing happened. I know that since the page opens anyway i shouldn't worry about it but i am. Does anyone have any ideas on why i am getting this error message?
Thanks

Jump to PostI can only guess at the solution since here was not answer to the clarifying questions.
Set default mail program:

Jump to PostI know how to set default programs; its when I set the default browser to Firefox that I cannot click on any link in an email, or click on anything under the "Help" menu. I get this message
"There was a problem sending the command to the program."
