solved :cannot open report studio->tools->options

[curious]

For study purposes i installed cognos 10.1.1 on a standalone pc windows 7 64 bit
when I want to start report studio the panes such as properties, source etc and the work area are very small. width can be changed but height can not.

when I select tools->option nothing happens . Other menu options of report studio are selectable but nothing happens.
I think it has something to do with compatibility mode of internet explorer or some security settings.

What should i change ?

you can try,

On IE browser, click the configure (the gear icon on the upper right of the browser)
Click "compatibility view settings"
add the current address or the url of your IBM cognos.

Hello Feds,

Thank you for your answer, unfortunately it did not help.

After several hours of searching I started inetcpl.cpl and pressed "Reset" , guess what ? It helped.

Why are the simplest things so hard to find  ;)
