Carolyn,
I have experienced this in Win2K pro. I don't know what
causes it, but this is how I correct it:
Start>Run>gpedit.msc
Navigate: Local Computer Policy>User Config>Admin
Templates>Windows Components>Internet Explorer>Internet
Control Panel>Browser menus>Tools Menu: disable Internet
Options...menu option.
On my computer, this is never configured, but when
this "bug" happens I enable it, apply it, then disable it
and apply. After that I can use the Options Menu. I hope
that helps!!
