Internet Options won't open in Windows Xp Pro Sp3 from Control Panel or anywhere else. I have checked SYSTEM32 and there is inetcpl (control panel extension file) and inetcplc.dll. I have tried opening Internet Options in Run, no luck. I have also run a VB script written by someone on the web to Remove Internet Restriction. Didn't work.Here is the error message I get when trying to open Internet Options from within Internet Explorer 8 (I usually use Firefox BTW, the latest, and this update was two days ago.
It doesn't mater if I use IE tools or control panel, when I click (internet options) it doesn't open. I'm running windows XP and I have not installed anything new. I have all the anti stuff, ( SuperAntiSpyware -Trend Micro - Advance System Care - Easy Cleaner) I've even turned them all off, but it still won't open.
I Hope someone has seen this I am being told that I am no longer the administrator of my computer, and can not change the internet options. I have Win XP Home SP2, IE 6.0.2900.2180 BTW, I am the only user and I have complete admin rights.
When I attempt to open internet options the window flashes open and closed. If you blink you miss it. If I click on " Delete Browsing History" nothing happens. Everything else seems to be working. I have Zone Alarm running for virus, spyware, firewall. I scanned with Spybot and SAS.
I read that in TOOLS--->Internet options--->Advance, there's a setting that I can make the pulldown manu not be truncated. I can't find it for the life of me.
When I go to my documents and open the folders, they always open in the list view. I would like to have them open all the time with thumbnail view.I change the view when the folders are open, but they always revert back to details when I go to them again. Can it be changed permanently?

changing some icons last night and managed to mess up somewhere. When i went to folder options to try and change the icon for drives it somehow reset the setting for opening drives to find. I changed it to open with windows explorer for now so that i can open things but this doesnt help as they all open in new windows. Does anyone know how to reset this action to default? I checked on my other comp and there doesnt appear to normally be a default option it just opens.
I do not want to open another instance of a program that is already open.When I click on a file in explorer (and the program for that file is already open) the file is opened in another copy of the program.
My keyboard is set to the US setting and I am from the UK so I want to change this but when I go into the control panel and double click on the regional and language options the sand timer comes up for around two seconds then it turns back to the normal pointer and nothing else happens and the window has not opened. Although this may not seem a big problem it is extremely annoying to have to use a US keyboard setting with a UK keyboard.My other problem is that when I try to install the Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB917283) the update process runs for a while and it eventually says that the installation has failed. All other updates are being installed successfully but this one continues to fail no matter how many times I try to install it and restart the computer etc.

Although this may not seem a big problem it is extremely annoying to have to use a US keyboard setting with a UK keyboard and several keys are reversed such as the @ and " keys which is extremely confusing
I'm trying to set a default view for Windows Explorer but everytime I make my changes Windows doesn't seem to save the settings. I would like Windows Explorer to open with the Explorer Bar on the left with Folder view as the default. I've tried saving the view under options but this doesn't seem to work. If I close Windows Explorer it just goes back to the default view before I made my changes. Also is there a way to have Windows Explorer default to a certain directory?
I just migrated from my old IBM T42 to IBM T60. Now I installed a bunch of new softwares on my T60 (the regular ones) I dont know after installing which software problem started.When I try to open power options from CP it says:An exception occured while trying to run"C:WINDOWSsystem32shell32.dll Control _RunDLL "C:WINDOWSsystem32powercfg.cpl",Power Options Rest everything works fine in CP - I have tried to replace powercfg.cpl (with a new one) as well but that didnt help.
I'm trying to install Nuance DNS 10 Pro in two of my XP machines. Nuance has a problem on the install disk with the Visual C++ install required to permit the full program install. Nuance requires download of a fix zip file wihich unzips to several VBS files. On one of my computers, the file options is set to open VBSScript files with Microsoft Based Script Hosting so the VBS file opened OK.On my other XP computer
the file options did not offer the Script Hosting as a choice of a program to open VBS files--only Notepad which is worthless for these files how to get XP adjusted to open VBS files in the Script Hosting vs Notepad when Script Hosting is not offered as one of the program choices in the listing for programs with which to open various types of files? I have SP2 in which a file search identfies the wscript.exe file as present
In IE7, when I click on Tools>Internet Options, the Internet Options box will appear for a split second, then disappear. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I have Windows XP x64 bit on one of the HDD, and I have bought a new HDD,I would like to install the same operating system on the new HDD,how do I do it? Just plug-in the new HDD and install a new OS on it?Or do I need to detach one and then install the os on the new one?

The blue one day I cannot access Internet Options from the tools menu in IE7 on Vista Ultimate. I also cannot open Internet options from the control panel. When I click on it nothing happens. I tried to run Spybot. I tried running IE7 as administrator and it says: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. I checked and IE7 has full permissions and no restrictions. I am also logged in as an administrator. I tried sfc /scannow in an elivated command prompt and it said it found errors but couldn't fix them. I also ran system restore and it cannot restore anything no matter what date I choose. Can anyone explain what suddenly happened to my Vista out of the blue? I run the latest Mcafee by the way.
I'm trying to set my desktop up as computer that would allow others to connect through it. The desktop is upstairs and connects wirelessly to my router downstairs. I've loooked at some guides that explain how to set it up for sharing and they say to right click the connection, then go to properties, then advanced tab, and there will be the options for internet connection sharing. However, there are no options there that relate to "Internet Connection Sharing" only Windows Firewall with a "Settings" button.
I just looked at internet options - security - restricted sites and found a bunch in there. I had none about a month ago and never had any before. Some sound bad but that's irrelevant, my question is how did they get there? Is this some connection to MS's new security downloads?
i am having a problem with sound. the strange thing is, i can hear sound when i play music from my windows media player. but, i cannot hear sound from things such as: Internet, or any website. i don't really understand. is there a setting in internet options or something that i need to turn on?
For the past two weeks, when I start or restart my Dell Dimension 8250 running Windows XP Home Edition, it passes through a blue page with a Windows label that says: "Checking the file system on C; The type of file is NTFS; Cannot open volume for direct access; Windows has finished checking the disk." Otherwise the computer seems to start up normally and operate as usual. Something has changed and I don't know what the problem may be.
Internet Explorer/Internet Options/Homepage has a lot of addresses for Homepage options that are sites I've visited but never used for my homepage, and I can't get rid of them. Delete doesn't work, control/delete doesn't work.
Recently our computer (running Win XP Service Pack 3, 512MB RAM, Hard Drive approx 33% full) has starting running really slow... Like taking 3+ minutes to open a Word doc. But mostly it seemed to be the internet that was running super slow. We have run our Norton and Ad-ware (malware & spyware program) and found nothing.Today, I was unable to even get IE8 to open. I kept getting the "(Applicationname.exe)has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Trying to put in my earthlink email under tools and internet options, so that when I click on an "email customer support" link or something, it goes to my email instead of microsoft outlook express or something like hotmail. Choosing earthlink isnt an option in there.
When I click on Internet Properties in my Control Panel and I go to "Programs" I would like to add the Hotmail choice in the e-mail catagory. Right now all that it shows available are: Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail. How do I get Hotmail as a choice in this area so I can choose it as my e-mail choice?
