can't access Internet Explorer Options

One small network with Xp in server and 1 pc w98 connected.
Today tried to access Internet Explorer options in xp (server) and
a dialog box telling can't do that due to restrictions appeared.

The thing is I have admin privileges and can't contact administrator...
The change was today but can't figure out how to restore that privilege
since I have no clue of what happened...

I think I changed something in w98 (the other pc) trying to disable the
abilty of dialing for connecting to internet...

But I don't have idea really...
Any help?
 
Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs. Download a fix from:

The problem may be due to:

1. A spyware. Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system
and eliminate the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **

( Caused by a malware called CoolWebSearch. Also, Download:

2. You have enabled the following options in SpyBot:
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE"
