For some reason I cannot open the tool/internet options
menu. I get the message "The operation was cancelled due
to restrictions in place on this computer. Contact the
Administrator". But I am the only "user" set up on both
computers and am the administrator. Windows XP Home. Why
is this happening?

Copy and paste:

Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.

You might try this from Mike Burgess first if you use SpyBot:
'Did you by chance run SpyBot's Immunize feature?
If so, you can unlock by unchecking the option to "Protect IE Control
Panel"
