windows ME content adivsor problem

Catch_22

heres the siutuation:

when you launch internet expolrer a warning comes up saying
please check your content advisor settings for missing information.

it will not load any webpages.
if you load any webpage it comes up with an error
the only workaround is to goto tools / contentadvisor
if you click disable nothing happens, however if you click setting
it asks for supervisor password. Then hit cancel,
now hit disable & itt asks for passsword.
Then everything works until you close internet explorer & have to do
it all over again cause the settings dont sve no matter what.

so any ideas how to get explorer back to a working state ??

cheers

Hi,

To resolve this issue, create a new Ratings.pol file:

Quit Internet Explorer.

Check your Windows\System folder to see if a Ratings.pol file exists.
NOTE: You must be able to view hidden files to view the Ratings.pol file. To view hidden files in My Computer or Windows Explorer, click Folder Options on the View menu in My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the View tab, click Show All Files, and then click OK.

There may not be a Ratings.pol file in the Windows\System folder. If there is no Ratings.pol file, skip to step 3. If there is a Ratings.pol file, rename it to Ratings.old.


Start Internet Explorer, click Cancel to close the error message, and then click Internet Options on the Tools menu.

Click the Content tab, and then click Settings in the Content Advisor area.

Type the Supervisor password, and then click OK.

Choose the ratings options that meet your needs, and then click OK.
When you restart Internet Explorer, the changes take effect.
