Cannot view source code on web pages

[Mel Huth]

No matter what options I check or uncheck, I cannot view
the source HTML code for web pages. Other computers I use
work fine, but not one system.

anyone else had this problem. I am starting to do a lot
of web page/site work and need this feature to work.

saves me a lot of time.

thanks in advance.

Mel,
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
