I'm using IE6 SP1 with Windows XP Pro. This just started happening recently (I think when I updated some components via Windows Update but I'm not sure exactly). But now if I try to view the source of a webpage (by right clicking or from the view menu) nothing happens when I click! Very, very rarely (every so often) it'll work. But more often than not it doesn't. This is extremely annoying b/c I have a tendancy to view the HTML code of many of the sites I visit.

Argh, yeah it's very annoying. It used to happen to me (on Windows 2000) all the time. I solved it by deleting all my temporary internet files. Try it out. Hope it works.

Cookies too? 
I hate having to re-enter all my info for all the sites I have an account on.

Ooooh wow! I just tried it (not the cookies) and it worked! I've had this problem for about a week and I was sittin' around waiting for a patch to appear on Windows Update. 
Never heard of this problem b4. Thanx!
EDIT: but it sure did take a looooong time to empty out those temps!

This problem started happening again about a week ago. I'll go and empty my temp files, and then try again, and it will work. But the second I navigate away from the page or go to view source again, it doesn't work. Then, if I go empty my temp files again, it works (temporarily), and, well, you get the idea.
Any reason why emptying out my temp internet files only fixes the problem for a one-time viewing of view source?

Well it could be that the Temp folder that holds your internet files is just way over saturated. Or, you have it set in the settings so it only holds very little. I had the same problem, but emptying them worked fine, and it hasn't happened since.

It's gotten to the point where I've had to clear out the temp internet files almost every five minutes!! It's gotten very very obnoxious. Sometimes when I leave it for a long time, it takes a looooong time to clear out, so I know it fills up good.

Nope, sorry, that one's a no go. It was set to around 1800mb and had virtually nothing in it. I enlarged it to a bit over 2 gigs and still nothing.
