15570 2001-07-15 23:02:00 A few days ago I enabled the content advisor for the first time. Since then every time I access the internet I get a connection to the net, but can't connect to sites on the net easily. An error message says 'Content advisor has missing information' Eventually I am able to disable the content advisor and gain access, but it won't stay disabled. How can I disable it permanently?

You may see this when you've enabled Content Advisor without a supervisor password. Try enabling the Supervisor password and then disable the Content Advisor.

This may also occur if the Ratings.pol file is damaged, has been corrupted, or if there is another Ratings.pol file located in the C:\Windows folder.

To resolve this issue, create a new Ratings.pol file. First, quit Internet Explorer and 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). If there is a Ratings.pol file, rename it to Ratings.old.

If there is no Ratings.pol file, 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.

If you do not know or have forgotten the Supervisor password, then the Content Advisor can be disabled via the Registry. From the Start menu click on Run, type Regedit and press OK. Navigate to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Ratings] and delete the entry 'Key'=...

This should disable the Content Advisor and remove the warning message.
