I have a dell optiplex gx1 300mhz 64mb ram I connect to MSN thru msn explorer. before was able to use Internet explorer to see websites and such. I had my content advisory enabled. Now i get an error saying that My content advisory is missing and IEdoesnt let me browse thru it I lost the password to the Content Advisory so I cant disable it. I tried reinstalling Ie 5.5 but it did the same thing.
Is there anyway I can get around this?

If the message is "please check your Content Advisor for missing information", look here:

If you've forgotten the supervisor password, click on Start, Run and type "regedit" and click OK. This brings you to the Registry Editor, which looks a bit like Windows Explorer.

First, make a backup by clicking on Registry, Export. Name it backup and click ok.

Now, if you have forgotten the Content Advisor password, you can delete it by browsing to this folder in Regedit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVer sion\Policies\Ratings
Select the icon called Key in the right-hand pane and press delete. Close Regedit.

You can now start Internet Explorer andgoto View, Internet Options.... Select the Content tab, and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything, just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor, since there's no longer a password.
