Hi All,

This is my first post here so be kind and I'll try my best to follow Forum Rules :)

At some point in the recent past my Thunderbird email client stopped allowing me to open attachments, hyperlinks and print. This means I could not open attachments without first saving/detaching, could not open hyperlinks without first doing a copy and paste into my browser, and could not print emails at all because it could not find my default printer. I tried deleting the mimetype.rdf file as Mozilla recommended and restarting TBird but that never worked. I also reinstalled TBird and still no luck.

So I (wrongly) assumed Thunderbird was the issue and installed a new email client (Barca/Poco). Neat system btw. Anyway, I would like to continue with Barca but am having the exact same issues.

I have also noticed that in some other software on my system I am again not able to open hyperlinks into a browser. For example, when my Registry Mechanic expired and a popup showed with links to the site to renew my license, the links did nothing when I clicked on them (i.e. browser did not open to that website).

I maintain my computer fairly diligently or so I thought but perhaps I've accidentally deleted an important registry or (gasp!) I have malware I'm totally unaware of. I currently run Avast! and Comodo Firewall. I double checked at the MS Update page and the scan did not recommend any major updates so I should be all up to date there.

Here is my log file I just created today. Thanks in advance and I await your wise instructions :notworthy:
[Edit: Updated logfile 10:40pm - realized it was not a "clean" scan as didn't reboot computer first time.]
