pc has gone all buggy

[esllou]

after the MS updates today and I installed Firefox....

...suddenly, when I try and go into Internet Options through IE, some window comes up telling me there are restrictions in place on the computer and I should get in touch with the administrator! I am using Italian version of Windows so that is the best I can translate as!

any ideas what could be causing that?

If I try and get into Internet Options through Control Panel, I can.

ok, I am a fool

chose the following option in Spybot earlier today

"lock access to Internet Options from within IE"

and then, 10 hours later, I have "no idea" why I can't get into Internet Options...from within IE! :-¦

ever get the feeling the machines are taking over?

*laughing gently* (because I have DEFINITELY been there and done that!)

With me, it's called having at the SAME TIME, a blond AND senior moment!

The older you get, the more often it happens. I can hardly wait until I'm 60.... not all that far away!
