Solve : internet options not working[tools,internet options[in internet explorer?

Answer»


Hi, I've got a problem I've been working on for a week.
I've got a thread or string that's MISSING in the registry I think.
I can't open my internet opyions in internet explorer under TOOLS

I can get inetcpl.cpl if I go to windows and click on IE7 and scroll
down to inetcpl.cpl and right click on that. then the internet properties dialog
comes up'
If I go to system32 and click on inetcpl.cpl it is inactive,so I suppose the
path is broken there.
How would I fix that in the register?
I'm not that familiar with that.I'd need some good guidance for that.
But I want to try something.
Computer seems to be free of malware and spyware
Help would be appreciated. jacobi

I would suggest you uninstall IE7 and reboot and see if the tools WORK with IE6. After do a reinstall of IE7...long way around but the reinstall will also fix and check things during the install

I tried to uninstall IE7,but i couldn't do that no dialog for that.
I guess i need to uninstall sp3 first. Then uninstall IE 7
I suppose sp2 will be working when I uninstall sp3
If you have an easier way let me know.
Thanks again

"Internet options" entry is missing, or it won't open?BRONI
Yes it won't open,when I click on it blinks and is gone
Close IE.
Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer(no add-ons).

Say again? What is gone?Did you happen to make a backup before you went mucking around in the Registry ? ?I'll bet $5....you know my guess??No I haven't went in the registry yet. I have sp3 maybe that's a problem
or IE7,I'm not sure but I'll keep at it.try using a different web browser... e.g Mozilla FirefoxTry the steps outlined in this KB article. Might help you.
