"View Source" Doesn't Work

[I'm So Tired!]

Hello,

Now, when on a web page, if I "right-click" and choose "View Source, nothing
happens. Same results if I go up to the Toolbar and choose "View", then
"Source". Have I turned something off somehow? Is there a file "association"
that may have gotten messed up?? No new software added, I just noticed it.

Thank You

The usual suggested fix is as simple as 'empty your temporary internet
files'

give that a go and let us know if it worked.

Nope, doesn't work! Cleared BOTH "Temporary Folders" and "Cache" with IE
Icon "right click" (deleted cookies, history, etc.) and with Norton
Utilities, then ran WinDoctor. Man, I need this one thing to work.

This is usually fixed by emptying the Temporary Internet Files.

Also, if you have a shortcut to Notepad on your desktop rename it to Npad.

Some people have reported that Quick View Plus can cause this. See this
