can't view source

[Barb MJ]

I am unable to view the source of any web page. I click
on the part of any web page and select view source but
nothing happens. Any ideas??? I have the most current
updates and am running xp with service pack 2 on it.

Hi,
First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content.) It's often recommended that the TIF
folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

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

Some people have reported that Quick View Plus can cause this

Don,
Thank you very much for the help! The IE cache was my
problem. It took an incredible amount of time to clear
the cache but then I was able to click on the view/source
and it worked just fine. I will watch out for this in the
future. You're great!
Barb
