frozen links

[christy_6]

my explorer browser and outlook email has recently started freezing up on me when I go to click on certain links. I cannot click on any link contained in an email anymore. My browser does this also... not on every link, but enough to annoy me. I never had this problem before. Maybe this is a preference somewhere? Suggestions? Thanks.
