IE problems may be caused by Add-ons and although OE does not have the same range of add-on options, it can also be affected.
One possibility is an anti-virus add-on for OE. Do you use an anti-virus, and if so, does it check incoming and outgoing emails? It may be that it has a 'LinkScanner' component similar to the one used by AVG which on occasions causes problems.

Hello,
For the last few days, I've been having problems clicking on links in my Outlook Express emails. Instead of a pointer, I have a hand with a index finger. If I click on the link, it locks up OE and I have to bring up the task manager to get out of it. I am using OE 6 and IE 7. I have changed nothing and have been using those for months. This is a new problem out of the blue, it seems. I'm not super computer savvy so please give any help in layman's terms. Thank you kindly.
