Win 7 + IE8 - cannot send Link/Page by Email

I have Windows 7, IE8 and Windows Live Mail (2009) and have lost the ability
to use FILE/SEND/PAGE OR LINK by email. The choices are grayed out.

Windows Live Mail is my default email handler and IE 8 is my default
browser.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Never mind, I solved my problem.

The solution was to go into Default Programs/Set Program Access and Computer
Defaults. I chose Windows Live Mail as the email program and that corrected
the problem.

go to control panel, enter programs, enter default programs, enter set
program access and computer defaults, enter custom and use pull down arrows,
choose internet explorer, enter live mail, fill out the rest the way you
desire. then enter ok, It worked for me.
