Really weird. I don't have a problem with opening most links from my mail, either "http" or "https", that's not the problem. The one site happens to be "Sports illustrated". It's a daily email and no matter which link I click on, IE7 opens, than just sits there. If I copy the url, I can open any of the links. Here's one: si.com/2007/writers/pete_mcentegart/02/27/ten.spot/index.html?eref=FromScorecardDailyI read something about the phishing filter causing some problems. When I go to "Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/.. there is an exclamation point in the box "Phishing Filter". It also doesn't matter which option I've checked. Pete
