Sending a link, unable to select "send a link"

I have upgraded to Vista and IE 7 and I found the mail button was not longer
on the toolbar. I followed the help article and added the "read mail"
toolbar, but when I select "page" to select "send a page by email" or "link"
it will not let me do so? The selections are there but unable to select.

Thanks!!

Have you set up an e-mail account in Windows Mail yet? If not, that could
explain it.

Try this. Go to Control Panel\Default Programs, and choose "Set program
access and computer defaults". Click Custom. Expand the menu (at the
right). Choose your email program, and then click Okay.

Click the "Page" button and see if the mail options work from there.

"Page by E-Mail" and "Link by E-Mail" options are grayed out in Internet Explorer in Windows Vista:
