internet options

[Guest]

I recently tried to update my internet explorer 7 and had a problem after
that with opening the web browser. So i used system restore to get it back to
where it was, but i notice i cannot access internet options, either through a
web page or via the control panel. Any suggestions? recommendations?

Have you checked for viruses and/or spyware?

1. Assuming that you have an antivirus program installed, try updating it
and thern run a virus scan;

2. Download and run Spybot S&D from:
http://www.safer-networking.org/ ; and

3. Download and run SuperAntiSpyware from:
