I first noticed the problem when I became aware that sound was not playing from websites. I have done hours of research and found several potential fixes, none of which work.
IE7.0.5 on Windows XP Pro w/SP3
Description - When I select Tools>Internet Options I get an error message that says This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." I am the administrator. I am the only user.
Many sites indicate that I should, inside SpyBot, uncheck the IETweak "Lock IE Control Panel from opening within (current user)" That was never checked.
I come to you for help simply because the IETweak issue seems to be a common thread on other sites.
I can access Internet Options thru Control Panel. All sounds are on, all audio devices working, I can download and play files, I can use Skype thru headsets.
My IT person that I consult with downloaded and ran the following:
xp_fix_internetoptions.vbs
nobrowseroptions.inf
No change.
I have posted a request several days ago on only one other forum:

No reply.
Have you had to deal with this issue and do you have a solution?
Thank you in advance.
