Hi can anyone explain why outlook has decided not to allow links to operate. I get a message <this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer, please contact your system administrator> I am the administrator, I contacted myself and I know of no such restriction, Any Ideas? It also deletes more than one mail at a time. Oh and BTW Frame rates on MS X vary from day to day Could it be that Vista is having a laugh at my expense John P Laws.
