Your curent security settings prohibit running activex controls on this page?

Question

This is the error I get when I try to visit some websites. I enabled activex in IE-toots-internet options and I selected the lower level of security.I have only Yahoo messenger installed on my computer. I use windows xp. I just installed a fresh copy of it. I have no firewall. What can I do?

I already did what Louis said and it still doesn't work.

Answer 1

To find ActiveX settings: In Internet Explorer, click Tools and then click Internet Options. Select the Security tab. Be sure the Internet zone is selected. Click the Custom Level button. In the window, scroll down to 'ActiveX controls and plug-ins.' There are five settings here. Your ActiveX controls should be set to:

1.'Download signed ActiveX controls'—set to 'Prompt.' Signed ActiveX controls from a known organization and are considered safe. But you still want to be asked/prompted about this since there may be some sites (using signed ActiveX controls) that you may not want download into your computer. This prompt will give you that option.

2.'Download unsigned ActiveX controls'—set to 'Disable.' This will prevent the downloading of unsigned controls.

3.'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe'—set to 'Disable.'

4.'Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins'—set to 'Enable.' This will prevent you from being repeatedly prompted once you have accepted them.

5.'Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting'—set to 'Enable.' Ditto—once I have accepted them, do not prompt me about them repeatedly.

Answer 2

U don't have to put secuirity level to minimum.
U can still make it work if u go on Internet explorer : Tools->Internet Options.
then Secuirity tab and press the button Custom Level.
Then as a list will appear choose "run Active x control ... blabla"
It'll work!
PS Don't put it secuirity level "minimum"
