Outlook 2007 not opening hyperlinks: An error occured in sending the command to the application
I am attempting to fix a problem for a user where Outlook 2007 is giving an error when opening hyperlinks.
General Failure. The URL was "http://someurl". An error occurred in sending the command to the application.
It has been verified that IE is set as the default browser, it is also set to be associated with HTTP urls.
Repair install of outlook and antivirus software did not fix the issue.
