Restrictions on this Computer ???

This one has me baffled....doesn't take much at the best of times!

2 computers connected to a LinkSys Router fed by a cable connection.

Compac Laptop, P3, 600 Mhz, 6 GIG HD, Windows 98 SE, IE 5.5

Sony Viao Desktop, P4, 2.40 Ghz, 80 Gig HD, Windows XP, IE6.

The Sony Desktop is the master.

Set-Up has been like this for 7 months and everything worked well.

Don't remember tinkering or changing any internal settings on the laptop, but for about a week now whenever I select Tools/Internet Options on the Menu bar, I get the following Message Box:

"Restrictions - This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."

...There's no System Administrator. I'm it!

However, when I go to My Computer/Control Panel/Internet Options......all the selections are available.

Anyone have any ideas how to remove the "Restrictions Message Box" from the Tools/Internet Options selection on the Menu Bar in I.E.????

Thanks in advance for your help.
