see if IE is your default browser, if its not it will try to open a link and you will get a blank page.

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Internet or Internet Options icon, and then click Programs.
3. Make sure that the Internet Explorer should check to see if it is the default check box is selected, click Apply, and then click OK.
4. Open Internet Explorer, and then click Yes when you receive the following prompt:
Internet Explorer is not currently your default browser. Do you wish to make it the default?
Links in e-mail messages should then open Internet Explorer.

I believe Incredimail uses Lookout for it's engine so the same problem will probably still be there.
