Hello, I am running Windows XP Professional on my home PC, with Internet Explorer 6.0.26.
I have NEVER been able to view the source of HTML pages on this machine. Neither right clicking and selecting "View Source" nor going to the view menu and selecting "Source" show the source of the web page... I don't recieve any error message. Sometimes the computer buzzes for a second or two, as if it were thinking, but the source never opens (no matter what webapge I try this on).
When I first began troubleshooting (months ago) I checked my programs tab, in my internet options. It was set to use Microsoft Word to view source with... I promptly changed that to use Notepad by default. I tested it. I successfully viewed *one* page, in notepad. Now, I have the same problems. The source is just never displayedf. I have tried switching back to Microsoft Word, and back again to Notepad- neither works.
I have checked the Microsoft trouble shooting sites... I found 3 pages describing my problems, but for different operating systems and different versions of iexplore. Regardless, I tried to use the solution listed, but my problem has persisted.
A good friend recently sent me his browser's "Advanced" settings, and I compared them to my own. My settings are the same as his are. I have also tried changing my security level (I set it to the lowest default level), but this doesn't help, either.
Help! Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
