Probably totally of topic, I have struggled with this as well, however it was disabled too.

After googling (the answer seemed almost identical to the one given here: Why isn't my IE8 Developer Tools working?) I found that the Disabled key was set (had its value set to 1). So open regedit, find the key (also mentioned above in other answers):
