10253 2001-03-20 08:55:00 When I click on Internet Explorer I get a 'Please check content advisor for missing info' message/OK/ then 'Action cancelled, I.E. was unable to link to the webpage requested'.
A content advisor check shows 'disabled' and all 4 settings are at level 0. I reset them to level 4,apply/OK then 'enable'/OK.
I can now acces the Internet and all is fine until I shut down I.E.. The whole process repeats itself next time I try to log on. The content advisor settings have all returned to zero etc.

10254 2001-03-20 14:03:00 I've lost this letter to u twice now so straight into the answer . Open Windows Explorer, View, Folder OPtions, the View tab, and make sure under 'hidden files' that the 'show all files' box is checked . Then open the windows and Windows\system folders and look for an 8kb file named 'ratings . pol' highlight it, right click it and rename it to 'ratings . oldpol' a new ratings . pol is generated and the problem should be sorted .

When you are in I . E . 5 . 5, in 'Internet Options' on the content tab and have reset the 4 setting to whatever, make sure to go to the 'general tab and check the box that says 'allow viewing of web sites with no ratings levels' or some such .

Hope this helps . . . took me forever to find it out cause I couldn't get onto the net to hunt down a fix !!
