can't view source

[mj]

When I click on view source in IE6, nothing happens. I
don't get an error message and Notepad doesn't open. Can
anyone help?

Try moving your mouse pointer to a different area of the
screen before you right click. Make sure you are not right
clicking on a graphic of some sort when you go to view
source.

the same problem and haven't found a fix yet...

Hi,

1. Clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Options> General> Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the TIF folder be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.

2. If you have a shortcut to Notepad.exe on the desktop, rename it.

Is notepad.exe undamaged and installed to the proper directory?
