Why Outlook 2003 won’t open links in a browser on Windows 7? To fix this, start by using the Registry Editor and deleting a few entries related to Outlook. This is a confirmed solution for Mozilla Firefox but it should work for other browsers, as well. Alternatively, you can reconfigure Registry with a batch file or just upgrade the program to a newer, more functional version. Read the step-by-step instructions for each solution below.

1. Fix using Registry Editor (for Firefox)

If Firefox is set as the default browser on your computer, the Locate link browser pop-up window can easily be closed each time it pops up, after which you can log on to the affected link’s address. However, this could easily become a nuisance, in which case, it becomes highly essential to remove it. To do this, you’d be required to delete the registry entries associated with the error. Follow the guidelines below to run this procedure:

  1. Apply changes and close the Registry Editor window.
  2. Restart computer. Once you’ve restarted your PC, check if the issue is resolved. Note: This method is applicable to Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs that have Firefox configured as the default browser.

2. Upgrade Program

If you’ve tried the troubleshooting techniques above and the error remains unfixed, you might have to upgrade your Outlook program to a newer version or the latest edition. The 2003 version of Outlook is old and somewhat outdated to run properly on modern Windows PCs. And in the event that you are finding it difficult to fix the Locate link browser error, you might be left with no option but to upgrade the program. If you still prefer the “vintage” version of Outlook, you can upgrade to Outlook 2007, which offers more advanced features and better flexibility. For optimum functionality, however, it is recommended you upgrade to the latest – Outlook 2019 – version.

3. Create a .reg file

You can fix this problem by making a few changes to your registry. The quickest way to do that would be to create a .reg file. To do that, follow these steps: After doing that, the issue should be resolved. However, if you are still unable to fix the error, you can reach out to Microsoft’s technical support team.
