Sue,

> have been having problems opening links from both emails and other

This will depend very much on the program you are using to browse the
internet.

If you use Opera:
open Opera, then use tools - preferences - advanced - programs - details
Tick "HTML documents", "XML documents", "URL shortcuts" in the first column,
and everything in the second column, then say "OK", "OK".

If you use Firefox:
open Firefox, then use tools - options - general - Default browser, Check
now - Yes, then say "OK"

If you use Internet Explorer (my condolences):
open Internet Explorer, then use tools - Internet Options - Programs - tick
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser",
say OK, then restart Internet Explorer.

> cant even get windows updates to download any solution please

This is a windows preference, not a broken program, so windows update will
not fix it.
