Internet Explorer

When I click on a link in my email or a link in excel it will not go that web page. I have to copy and paste the address in the bar in order to go to the web page. If I download Mozilla Firefox and make it my default browser it will automatically go to web link when I click on it. Is there a fix for this I would greatly appreciate if someone could help thanks

What does it do/say when you try to click on a link with IE set as default..? Do you get a like a 404 error or…?

I read some of the other things in the forum and was able to resolve the problem thanks
