Have not yet carried out your instructions but noticed that in your penultimate para you mention something about JavaScript engine in IE8.
Does it make a difference because the IE version I amusing is 9.
Will check your response sometime tomorrow because in a few minutes have to close down for the day

Hello
Your instructions completed but end result as previously.
H/ever have been playing about and something positive has occurred regarding DCOM which you indicated could be the source of my problem.
Have done the DCOMCNFG command once again and the default properties now indicate what you mentioned what you indicted previously.
The problem is that one image indicates the following:
''Your are about to modify machine wide dcom settings. This will effect all the applications on the machine. Some applications may not work correctly as a result. Update dcom settings?'' It then shows YES or NO.
The fact is I am not sure exactly wha to do - Should I say Yes bearing in mind the warning about some applications may not work correctly as a result.
Your advice appreciated.

Tried instructions mentioned (kb967897) and no difference
It appears as though I am flogging a dead horse where IE 9 is concerned.
Have come to the conclusion that my only alternative is forget using IE9 and stick to Mozilla Firefox.
As indicated when using Firefox, clicking URL links within email or not, no problems experienced.

I find it really unfortunate that your problem is not resolved. You should contact Microsoft to tell them your problem.
But Firefox is a very good browser and I'd suggest you the latest version 4.0 which is downloadable from this website:

Hi Guys
Just noticed that my request for help was incorrect in that I said the link does open whereas I should have said ''does not open''
Apologies for error.

Hi
Your response appreciated but regret to say that situation as before
What does happen when doing as instructed is at the top appears a blank tab section with IE icon but nothing takes place.
Hopefully my response is understood.

Prior to IE9 I was using IE8 and the same thing happened. It not only happens with links within emails when using IE but occasionally with any link which I click on. All that happens is blank tab with IE Icon
Can't help but mention once again that this does not occur when utilizing Mozilla Firefox browser.

Xonkie, follow these instructions and tell me if the problem still exist:
1-Use the Run command (click on Start->Run) and type DCOMCNFG to open up the Component Services.
2-Expand Component Services and Computers then right hand click on Properties.
3-This would open the properties for My Computer and click on the Default Properties tab.
4-Ensure that:
Default Authentication Level is "Connect"
Default Impersonation Level is "Identify"
Waiting for your feedback.
Good Luck!

Done as requested. Would like to send image as to what appears but do not know to insert jpg image in this forum.
Anyway what I can tell you is that 4- Default Authentication Level and Impersonation Level are both blanked out
I assume that is incorrect.
Awaiting further advice
Please bear in mind that my technical knowledge is very limited.

They are all blanked out, it's a shame but it is the source of your problem unfortunately.
Try to log on as administrator and repeat the manipulation.
If the problem still exist, try this:
Go to Internet Options ->Security Tab ->Internet -> click on the "Custom Level" button then scroll down to the Miscellaneous section.
There are several entries that control the JavaScript engine in IE8. One of them is named Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints. This item is disabled in all zones in IE8. That means that any link that calls a JavaScript function that opens a new window will not work if the size or location of the new window is not specified in the link. Change this item to Enable and those links will work again. You must do this for all zones.
Bottom line - the Window.Open() function will not work if you don't specify at least the new window size or position in the function call.
Let me know!
If you don't know where you go, get back where you come.....

Instructions completed but no change. Situation as previously.
I assume that it is safe to leave the changes which you suggested is OK.
It is apparent that I have a problem but how serious is it??
Awaiting any further instructions.

Hi,
Do not risk especially to click on YES because like it said, this might cause damage to your machine.
Let's try another ways to fix this issue. Follow instructions given to the link and tell me if the problem still exist:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/browsers/cannot-access-websites
I cross my fingers hoping it will work this time ;-)
