    Internet options won't open
    All of a sudden, my internet options won't open. It flashes on the screen, but disappears. I have tried opening it from Tools, control panel, everywhere, no luck

    Restart was the first thing I tried. This problem has been going on for about a month. Ive tried virus scans etc. I think there is something wrong with my settings. Either that, or my boyfriend has been screwing around with my computer again

    Go to Start, Run Type in the Open box CMD – this will open Command Prompt box (Black)

    At the C:\ prompt type this line : netsh winsock reset ---->enter

    Internet options wont open - Google Search

    Hope this helps -- Please rate my answer
