    Hi,
    I am new to XP and when I try to check the 'source' in my web page or any others nothing happens.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Does right clicking on the web page - such as this one, not bring up a menu list with 'View Source', which, when clicked opens the page in HTML in Notepad?

    Hi Pete,
    Yes, when I right click on the page or click on 'view' I get 'view source' but nothing happens. It is possibily disabled and I would like to enable.
    Thanks
    Lewis

    In IE, under Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab - which program is set as HTML Editor?

    Is Notepad functional on your PC?

    Deleting the Temporary Internet Files could also have fixed this issue.
