I am unable to use the view source option on web pages. I
have tried several times and 2 no avail. I have XP and
java enabled, yet it doesn't do anything when I click
on "view source" from the right click menu...nor from the
view menu on the tool bar. Can anyone help me out with
this?
 
Hi Cameron,

Did you try clearing the cache? IE, Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files.

Kind regards

Cameron,
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
