Q: My cursor does not open many links.  If I get a message on Linkedin the "Accept" rectangle does not work when I put my cursor on it.

M cursor changs from an arrow to the text (tall I) icon when I move it over links and "unsubscribes" and I can't respond to either Facebook or Likedin buttons.

Often if I get a link in an e-mail message my cursor will not open the link.  The arrow changs back to the txt cursor and the link won't open.  Help!
people send me important mesage telling me to hit a link to open something but my cursor won't open the link.???

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Tried holidng down option etc.
