Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed
Earlier I was using microsoft Outlook to view my mail over Hotmail. Outlook was very slow so i changed to outlook express with my Hotmail account.
I think its some registry key u have to change to tell Internet Explorer where the mail client is situated. I just dont know where.
BTW im running Win2k Sp3

try going to tools then internet options in IE then Programs and making sure the email client is set to the one you actually USE.
OP
I have checked that and it doesnt make any difference
For as long as I can remember there have been reports that Outlook and Outlook Express don't play well together. I have never seen any real solutions for this except that if you are going to use Outlook Express, then, 'uninstall' Outlook. I know, that wasn't what you wanted to hear. Isn't it strange that the worst conflicts are always with MS products on MS systems ;-)?
My personal solution is that I now use TheBat!, and wouldn't be caught dead using Outlook, Outlook Express, or Hotmail. These are all spam, virus, and manevolent script paradise.
