Whenever I try to right click a web page and "View Source" nothing happens. I have reset my Internet Explorer settings and it still doesn't work. Can someone please help? Thanks, Jeremy

View source doesn't work:

Have you emptied your IE cache? That often works.

Make sure notepad.exe is in ..\windows and that it is not a third party version.

Also, search your registry for the DWORD noviewsource. If that exists, delete itor set it to 0.

Have a look at these site for hints:

Thanks bud. It was the cache thing. I needed to clear it, like you said so congratulations on your earning of 200 points. Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for maxwell edison. I like to have fun so take the above statements in good humor and thanks once again.
