error in contact address mapping ?

[Tim R]

I have been using OL2000 without problem for some
time...my contacts addresses always mapped properly when
clicking on the map icon...but today I tried it for the
first time in a while and always are sent to
http://office.microsoft.com/home/default.aspx ...instead
of the Expedia addrress mapping site...?

Anyone know why this is happening and how to get the
mapping link from Expedia back ?

Tim,

I'm not 100%, but I would say that IF you can change that
without using a registry hack, it would be via IE's "Find
a Map" setting..

To set this, open IE, then click the search button (next
to the Favorites button, globe with magnifying glass) and
then there will be a pane on your left wich has
a "Customize" button...

Under "Find a Map" you should see some settings You can
try to play with the order, and disable or enable any of
them.. If you find it's setup right you may be a victom
of certain "ad-ware" software which overwrites URL's used
in the registry..

I dunno if this will help, but it's a good place to start..
(and I'm aware IE has nothing to do with Outlook, but it
does have settings which effect how other apps work such
as outlook... )

depending on your version of IE you may have to go another
path to get to the search configuration page..
