"Custom level" and "default level" buttons grayed out

[PickThank]

I'm running Windows XP SP2 with all the updates on a Dell Dimension
8200 desktop PC. On the security page of the internet options dialog
in IE 6, when the Internet security zone is selected, the buttons for
default and custom levels are grayed out, even though I am running
this as an administrator. I have Norton Systemworks 2005 installed,
but the problem persists even when the antivirus program is disabled.
Ideas?
