MS Outlook General Failure error message

Whenevr I am in Outlook and read my emails, sometimes there is a URL link which is always a valid link because if I were to copy it and paste it into the browser, it works.  But when reading the emeil and if I were to clink on this URL link, I get the following error message :

General Failure.  The URL was " http://www. ....." The system cannot find the file specified.
OK button displays.
and when IU click OK, I am back to the email.
I have no clue what is going on.  Anywone knows a fix for this.
Thanks.

I'm encountering this same issue, but have not been able to resolve it with the steps outlined above.  I'm running Vista Ultimate, Outlook 2007 and Firefox.  I used to use IE, but recently switched over to Firefox and that's when the error began.  I receive the error, but the URL loads properly in Firefox from within Outlook, even though the error remains on the screen until I click OK.

Can anyone shed some light on this and offer a solution?
