MailTo Link Remains Displayed In Browser (Firefox)
Mar 15, 2009
In windows XP clicking this link activates mail client new message window (Outlook in my case), allowing user to fill in the email message and send it (address automatically filled in convieniently). The webpage containing the MailTo link remains displayed in browser (Firefox).
In Vista, clicking this link also activates mail client (Windows Mail) but just the mail client no new message window to actually type message into. However, it also loads MailTo:someone@xxxxxx into an IE7 browser address window, then generates message in browser window "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Of course it shouldn't even be trying to display a MailTo: as a webpage. This is seriously messing with my mind and i need to resolve it so i can happily click away on MailTo links to my hearts content without having to find then copy and paste the MailTo address every time

I have checked several threads regarding mailto links, but none seem to work for my problem. At first when I would click a mailto link on a webpage nothing would happen. After checking a few threads here, I checked the defaults and set associations and was able to fix that. My problem now is that when I click a mailto link it only opens Windows
Mail and not a new message with the email address and subject (as Outlook does when I use it in Win XP).

I am encountering behavior with Windows-Mail that I have not seen discussed anywh. Clicking on a "mailto" link on a webpage properly brings up Windows-Mail, but it omits the "to" address field from the blank message form. In all cases, only a semi-colon character appears in the "to" address. Thus, clicking on the link: someone brings up a blank Windows-Mail message with only a ";" in the "to" address field. Strangely, if a "subject" field is also defined in the mailto link, that subject is properly inserted. Thus, clicking on the link: someone brings up a blank Windows-Mail message with only a ";" in the "to" address field, but with "something" in the subject field.

when i checked the windows help and support to find help for something, i noticed that all the "links" that refer to the help articles next to them have a little box with a red X inside them. (like this box that appears in a web browser when a picture cant be displayed). another problem is that i have deleted all the restore points before taking aware of this situation and i cant do a system restore to try to fix it. i have tried the offline help, deleting temporary files, but i cant find a way to fix this it still has the same problem. i use windows vista 32bit with sp1 and all the updates.

i have so many problems with Windows Vista, i can't even tell you. i'm meeting with a friend soon to address many of them, but there's one i can't tolerate or figure out. i've looked everywhere, so as a last-ditch, i'm asking here.
Vista is crashing my browser, which happens to be Mozilla Firefox. however, from what i've read, it also crashes IE7, so it's an equal opportunity glitch. is there a patch i'm missing? it's getting worse & worse. it used to happen occasionally, & now it happens every time i browse.

I've been using Firefox as my default browser and until today all the Favorites and links opened in Firefox. But for some reason IE now fires up and loads the website when I click on a link or favorite. Favorites used to have Firefox icon next to them but these have now changed to IE icon. I have tried "Make Firefox your default browser" in it options but this has no effect. I don't want to use IE if it can be helped but don't know what to do to go back to how things were.

I downloaded Mozilla Firefox Internet Browser a short while ago and it was working fine. But then my Vista automatically updated and I think that was where the problem started. I think in the update it heightened the security on my computer, not necessarily a bad thing but annoying because every time I launch Firefox it has to ask my permission to continue.
I think this is because it is trying to access the internet and is not microsoft software. I have looked it up in windows help and have a slight suspicion that it might be to do with something called "user account control". It helps stop unauthorized changes to your computer. Is there any way to convince it that Firefox isn't harmful and make an exception for it?

I am using Vista Ultimate x64 Build 6001 SP1.1 year old Some of the symptoms are: When I click on System Restore the process starts (visible in Process Explorer) but the UI it is not visible. I used System Restore from Vista Repair to restore to a moment before the start of these symptoms. The symptoms persist. Task Manager also remains invisible. However I can use Process Explorer (Sysinternals) When I click on? Turn Windows features on and off? Windows Features? box is displayed with?
When trying to uninstall a program or to install an msi file, Windows Installer displays "Preparing to install." and remains so forever. Click Cancel, after 10 min or so?Install server is not responding, or, Could not find Install Server? When I shut down the computer Logging off is displayed until I use one of the hardware buttons. Chkdsk found nothing wrong.Sfc /scannow doesn? start.In Safe Mode it is impossible to start any program. Otherwise, most programs work fine although they go frequently in Not responding mode. I used all AV, Spyware and rootkit scanners for x64 I could find. Same result: No infection! I see only one explanation: one or more Vista System files are corrupted or missing. How can I repair Vista without having to reinstall al programs and settings? Is it possible to trick Vista to make an Upgrade Install (which I understand
keeps the programs and settings) from Ultimate to Ultimate? When I try a message tells me that I can upgrade only to a newer version.

Even though it has had its own problems of late, Windows XP remains the most-used version of Windows. The newest data from Web metrics vendor Net Applications, for example, pegs XP as driving 73 percent of the personal computers that went online last month, five times the nearest competitor, Microsoft's own Windows Vista. Which is why an impending deadline five weeks from today is important. According to Microsoft, June 30 is the last day it will permit retailers and OEMs to sell the nearly seven-year-old operating system......

I draw your attention to the image attached below which I have extracted from Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition's Memory Benchmarking Test. As I only confess to having no more than an intermediate computer knowledge, could someone please answer my following query: Why in the image does it display my Memory Type as being Dual Channel DDR2-667 SDRAM (5-5-5-12) when what I have installed is Dual Channel DDR2-800 RAM (4-4-4-12)?

I installed some updates from Microsoft. After restart the computer displayed the welcome screen but not the login one. I waited for about an hour waiting for Vista to load but it didnt. I tried to repair it with the installation cd but I get the message that there is nothing to repair. Also, I cannot boot in safe mode and I cannot run system restore, i.e., its been runing for almost an hour with no result. I dont know what to do anymore.

I have a lot of files and I have all the names organized. I set up Tversity to transcode video to my PS3 and it works great except for one thing. I'd say about 1 out of 15 files have the wrong filename, however, the filename displayed through Tversity on the PS3 is the original filename of the file. Some of these videos I changed the filename right after I finished downloading them MONTHS AGO. And yet Tversity still sees the old filename where on my PC the filename is displayed correctly.
This is not the worst of the bug, if I try to play any of the files with the wrong filenames from Tversity on the PS3 then the Tversity media server on my computer crashes. I doubt this is a problem with Tversity because the old filename shouldn't even exist. Somehow the old filename still exists on some level on my PC.

I have a Desktop with Xp-home edition sp2, connected by ethernet-cabel to my Linksys Router and I have a Laptop, running Vista, connected wireless. On my Desktop I can find my Vista computer in my network. (Can't get into folders yet, but that is later to be solved). In the networkdisplay on my Vista laptop, I can't find my XP Computer. I did ping my desktop and it worked. SO, I tried to type the ip-adres of my Desktop in Windows-explorer and I could get into all the shared files. I have a connection, but the desktop isn't displayed in my network.

Everytime I open IE an error messeage gets displayed.

This usually means that a irewall is runng somewhere between the wo computers and is blocking World Wide web servie (HTTP). Windows has confirmed that indows Firewall on this computer is correctly configured to allow this conection. However, a remote firewall mightbe blocking your connection." If you have access to this firewall then configure the firewall to allow connection through TCP port80. If you don't have acess contact your network aministrator or internet service provider. What should I do?

I am running Vista Home Premium 32bit and have a wireless card. Nw most of the time it works correctly. All of a sudden though Internet Explore will say that this page can not be displayed due to working online. I will then go to Tools and the work offline item will be checked. I will uncheck it and try to refresh and it automatically re-checks it. Sometimes it will fix it self but most of the time I have to restart the system. I will be connected to the internet but it just does it automatically. I am needing to know how to permanently uncheck the work offline.

Windows Mail is not displaying a New Mail Notification icon in the system tray. Is this an option that I just can't find? It's terrible inconvenient, since i don't usually have sound turned on I don't know when I get new mail!

I'm running Vista Home Premium SP2 on an Acer desktop with 2 gig of RAM. The computer is working fine and my internet connection seems quite normal. However, I just noticed that the little computer monitor icon that's supposed to be in the lower right hand corner of my display is not there. Normally when I hover over this icon a small indicator shows up saying I'm connected locally and to the internet. I tried looking in `Services.msc' for something that's been inadvertently disabled, but can't find anything relevant. I also tried re-establishing my IP address but this did not produce the icon either. Last thing I tried was `repairing' my internet connection to no avail. how to get this icon back on without rebooting.

Originally my intention was to go the whole nine yards with WMC, ie, the dual digital TV tuners/PVR thing etc etc. However, I ended up getting a deal on a Sky+ box, so, long story short, I really just use it to play music and movies. I don't have an extensive picture library and so on, so I just get it to watch the Music and Movie directories. All the others have been removed from the watch-list and now I would like these other folders to die with dignity as far as the main interface is concerned. I don't want to have to go up (to Pictures) then across to Videos. I know this may seem as if I would be interested in hiring someone to do my breathing for me, and maybe I won't lose any sleep over it, but I would like to slim down the primary interface if it can be done.
