My security settings prohibil running ActiveX controls on some pages. How to solve the problem?

Question

On oppening some pages I recieve this message: "Your current security settings prohibil running ActiveX controls on this page." I have tried to change the security setting from internet options. But it does not help.

Answer 1

ActiveX Controls and Plug-Ins

The following options dictate how Internet Explorer approves, downloads, runs, and scripts ActiveX controls and plug-ins.
•

If a user downloads an ActiveX control from a site that is different from the page on which it is used, Internet Explorer applies the more restrictive of the two sites' zone settings. For example, if a user views a Web page within a zone that is set to permit a download, but the code is downloaded from another zone that is set to prompt a user first, Internet Explorer uses the prompt setting.
•

Download signed ActiveX controls. This option determines whether users can download signed ActiveX controls from a page in the zone. This option has the following settings:
•

Disable, which prevents all signed controls from downloading.
•

Enable, which downloads valid signed controls without user intervention and prompts users to choose whether to download invalid signed controls—that is, controls that have been revoked or have expired.
•

Prompt, which prompts users to choose whether to download controls signed by publishers who are not trusted, but still silently downloads code validly signed by trusted publishers.
•

Download unsigned ActiveX controls. This option determines whether users can download unsigned ActiveX controls from the zone. This code is potentially harmful, especially when it comes from an untrusted zone. This option has the following settings:
•

Disable, which prevents unsigned controls from running.
•

Enable, which runs unsigned controls without user intervention.
•

Prompt, which prompts users to choose whether to allow the unsigned control to run.
•

Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe. ActiveX controls are classified as either trusted or untrusted. This option controls whether a script can interact with untrusted controls in the zone. Untrusted controls are not meant for use on Internet pages, but in some cases they can be used with pages that can be absolutely trusted not to use the controls harmfully. Object safety should be enforced unless you can trust all ActiveX controls and scripts on pages in the zone. This option has the following settings:
•

Disable, which enforces object safety for untrusted data or scripts. ActiveX controls that cannot be trusted are not loaded with parameters or scripted.
•

Enable, which overrides object safety. ActiveX controls are run, loaded with parameters, and scripted without setting object safety for untrusted data or scripts. This setting is not recommended, except for secure and administered zones. This setting causes Internet Explorer to initialize and script both untrusted and trusted controls and ignore the Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting option.
•

Prompt, which attempts to enforce object safety. However, if ActiveX controls cannot be made safe for untrusted data or scripts, users are given the option of allowing the control to be loaded with parameters or to be scripted.

For more information about how to make ActiveX controls safe, see the MSDN Online Web site.
•

Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins. This option determines whether Internet Explorer can run ActiveX controls and plug-ins from pages in the zone. This option has the following settings:
•

Administrator approved, which runs only those controls and plug-ins that you have approved for your users. To select the list of approved controls and plug-ins, use Internet Explorer system policies and restrictions. The Control Management category of policies enables you to manage these controls.
•

Disable, which prevents controls and plug-ins from running.
•

Enable, which runs controls and plug-ins without user intervention.
•

Prompt, which prompts users to choose whether to allow the controls or plug-ins to run.
•

Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting. This option determines whether an ActiveX control that is marked safe for scripting can interact with a script. This option does not affect controls that are loaded with tags. This option has the following settings:
•

Disable, which prevents script interaction. Disabling ActiveX control scripting will also prevent applets from being scripted.
•

Enable, which allows script interaction without user intervention.
•

Prompt, which prompts users to choose whether to allow script interaction.

Internet Explorer ignores this option when Initialize and script ActiveX controls that are not marked safe is set to Enable, because that setting bypasses all object safety. You cannot script unsafe controls while blocking the scripting of the safe ones.

Hi there,
I was going to say you have to go to Inyernet Options, click on Security and scroll down to where you can check the box " Enable active x to run with Valid Certification". If your running IE 7
you'll find it in the advanced tab.
You might also check your firewall settings, this might be causing the block. In the General tab, reset the Default to all zones

I was having the same problem. I installed a new Script Debugging program from MS and it solved the problem. I downloaded this to stop script errors. For some reason my ActiveX problems stopped after downloading and installing it. Go Figure.

rather of disabling, set it to invite you, a few matters want lively x to paintings accurately, that means you'll be able to decide upon the well from the unhealthy, at disabled, your settings do restrict lively x controls from walking, if you're no longer certain, simply set the web explorer settings to default, and preserve spybot walking and up-to-date, it wil fairly aid plenty
