Right click "View Source" not working

E

When I right click "View Source" nothing happens, any ideas?

Also:

Sometimes html code shows up on the web page e.g., a dash appears as &embs,
some setting out? Thank you.

Time to perform some house cleaning chores:


Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE , and hit enter.
This will start your disk cleanup utility. Make sure to cleanup
your Temporary Internet Files.

Empty your temporary Internet files and try again. (You can do this from IE, Tools, Internet Options, General tab.)

if you have a shortcut to Notepad on your desktop rename it to Npad.

Some people have reported that Quick View Plus can cause this.

or

Restore Source View

Backup your registry before modifying

Search the registry (Start>run..type in "regedit" without the quotes> press
OK, The search for the DWORD "noviewsource".(without the quotes)

If that exists, delete it or set it to 0.

I've found that when I attempt to view source code on
some pages, I've had to scroll way down the display
page to see the source. Haven't encountered any
pages that failed to display their source, but as I
said, I must scroll down to see their source. Don't
know what's up with that. Most pages display
source code fine. Skip to the bottom of the display
and scroll up. Bet you'll see the source. Good luck.
