I cannot follow links in Word 2007

[Jbulger]

I have just upgraded to Office 2007. I am enrolled online in a couple of
classes. One of my classes, requires me to download Word Documents, and do
assigments. In one of the documents, there are Hyperlinks to websites.
Everytime I try to follow the hyperlink, I get an error message that says:
"This Operation has been canceled, due to restrictions on this computer.
Pleas Contatc your system administrator." I am my system's administrator, and
have no idea why this is now working. Please Help.

Hi Jbulger,

Your PC's firewall may be causing this behaviour.

Try to reset the IE settings and ensure IE is your Default Browser by getting
into "Set default program access".

Hi Sayed Imran,

What particular IE settings do you have in mind and how is making IE the default browser supposed to make a difference? And what if
the OP doesn't want to use IE?
