internet options

When i click on tools in Internet Explorer and then on internet options, a message comes up saying that operation has been cancelled due to a restriction on my computer.  I can't seem to change this.  I have a dimension 4400 with windows xp.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks

    Several "mallware" applications can cause this to happen.

    Please read the instructions in the first message in the area of the forum that handles this type of problem:

    This might seem like a daft question but are you using Spybot S&D , because this has a tool on it that stops you from accessing internet options from within IE to stop hijackers from changing your settings.You can access them from the control panel.
