View source problem in IE

[Joel]

I'm having trouble trying to see the source of the
webpage im at. I click on view source but nothing
happens. Is there some setting i need to change? I've
gone through the online help section and the helps on
this error don't help. Also opening the webpages source
in wordpad brings up the source all clutted and illegible.

Thanks in advance
Joel

Joel,
There may be several reasons .........

1) If a shortcut exists on the Desktop for Notepad, rename it.
2) Some users have reported Quick View Plus to be the culprit?
[or]
Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab | Delete Files button
Also select the option: "Delete all offline files"
Then click the "Clear History" button, while you're at it ......
Reset the TIF cache size to 50 mb. Click Apply\Ok

Remove files from your Temporary Internet Files (Folder)

Remove or rename any program or shortcut on your desktop named NOTEPAD.

If still no joy:
