    Welcome to Seven Forums VinnyBuxton. Are you able to open Internet Options through IE itself?

    Open IE> Tools> Internet options

    Also you can try this:

    Start> In search box type run> Enter> When run box opens type inetcpl.cpl> Enter

    Do either methods open Internet options?

    Sorry for the late, late reply.
    I managed how to solve this, I had to re-enable Internet Explorer from Programs and Features.

    Hi,
    That will help a bunch,
    Internet options only applies to Internet explorer
    Other browsers have their own internet options section built into their program
    Cheers.
