Hi
I just installed SP2 for XP, and now, when I go to change
my "internet options" in the "tools" drop-down in IE, I
get an error message saying "This operation has been
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
Please contact your system administrator." The Internet
Options icon also is GONE from my Control Panel. Does
anyone know if this is related to SP2? We also just
received our machine back from the manufacturer where the
SDRAM was replaced. Could this problem have been caused
then?
Thanks
