Can't click on links in OneNote 2007 twiggyann 4/6/2007 3:02:01 AM I'm working with a trial version of OneNote 2007 which is also OEM so no support from MS. I'm actually considering purchasing a non-OEM version this program from but only if I can get functionality out of it. Whenever I click on a link on any page within OneNote I get the error message "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." I am the system administrator. This happens whether I try it under a standard user or a user who is a member of the administrators group. I did a search for error message in the knowledge base and I could only find references to an error with IE. The little code you get when you press Ctrl-Shift-I is 700798. I couldn't find that in the knowledge base. Google searches for the error message only nets me Outlook 2003 issues. I do have a default browser selected. My firewall is set to allow OneNote internet access. I honestly can't figure out anything else to troubleshoot. Help would be appreciated. Twig

Please contact your system administrator." I am having similar problems with almost all of my software that uses links, except for my web browsers. It started with error messages when I tried to use links within OneNote. Then OneNote would just start locking up when I clicked the link. Now almost all software that allows links is starting to lock up when I click a link but only after I have been using the computer for a while. I know this is a OneNote usegroup not a Windows newsgroup but perhaps you are starting to see the same thing I am having. Please watch and see if you have trouble when clicking on links using any of your other programs that display links such as your e-mail software or your newsreader. Thank you.

Re: Can't click on links in OneNote 2007 twiggyann 4/6/2007 3:40:01 PM I have found the answer to my problem in the cnet forums and thought I would post my solution here in case it works for someone else. This link http://www.expertvista.com/archive/092006.html has a solution on the 14 Sept 2006 entry. Basically this was the paragraph that saved me: "So, go to “Start” - “Default Programs” and then hit “Set programs access and computer defaults” (Also available from IE Menu -> Internet Options -> Programs -> Set Programs). User Account Control will ask you to proceed, choose “Continue”, then select “Microsoft Windows” as configuration profile, or other, the point here is to initialize the access settings. Hit OK. Now access to the web should be reestablished." Hope it works for you.

I have been around since the "DOS isn't done till Lotus won't run." days. Alomost all of these problems eventually get traced back to Microsoft changing the Windows code so that some competitor's program won't work right any more.

Yes, they write buggy software too. -- Josh Einstein (Tablet PC MVP) Einstein Technologies Tablet Enhancements for Outlook - Try it free: www.tabletoutlook.com "Grant Robertson" <BOGUS[ at ]BOGUS.com> wrote in message news:uaYEJEFfHHA.2376[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
