Problems trying to replace Pegasus as the default e-mail program in IE 8
Running Pegasus 4.21c on XP Home, SP 3 w/ IE 8. Long ago, I had set
Pegasus as the default e-mail program for IE, and it has worked fine for a long time, even through IE updates. Now, I need to set either Outlook or Windows Live Mail as the default mail program in IE 8. The options for these two appear when I go to Tools | Internet Options | Programs. But when I select either as the default, IE still tries to open Pegasus when I click on the 'Read Mail' icon. And it's not even trying to open it from the correct location. It's trying to open it from a different drive and giving me an error box saying it cannot find Pegasus. I still will use Pegasus for most of my e-mail, but need Outlook or WLM set as default in IE so I can send invoices by e-mail using QuickBooks. Any suggestions? |
