Konrad von Carstein Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I was using "tune up utilities" as recommended in the PC help sticky and also turned windows defender on while checking something else on that particular thread and now after finishing the clean ups etc when I click on a link I get a message "this operation has been cancelled due to restriction in effect on this computer, Contact your system administrator" well that would be me!! Can anyone shed any light as to what I may have done?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone shed any light as to what I may have done?? i had exactly the same problem a couple of days ago. i had to re register another user on my computer and then re register the same email address to the new user and that solved the problem. just remember to back up your emails somewhere. or you could try this. http://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/topic/70909-email-help/page__p__1575109__hl__email%20help__fromsearch__1entry1575109 and check out post 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wibble Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 This is a problem caused by Internet explorer losing an important file. The easiest fix is to un-install and re-install internet explorer, or select the "repair" option under the "programs and features" or "Add/remove programs" in Control Panel. http://support.micro...om/?kbid=216583 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you re-install this you should find the problem is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanny17 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Make sure IE is your default browser. Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools, Internet Options, Programs tab. In the Default Web Browser section, confirm that it says "Internet Explorer is the default web browser" and that the 'Tell me if Internet Explorer is not....' option is checked. If that doesn't work, sounds like a registry key is missing/corrupt. A quick google of the exact error message should point you in the right direction. Alternatively, if you have Google Chrome, re-install it which may resolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad von Carstein Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 !!!!UPDATE!!! Uninstalled the utilities thingy and am using Firefox instead of IE, all is well now. Thanks to all for suggestions....although none of them worked for me (could be because I'm an erse right enhough ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
