Okay, Thanks for the advice so far. I have decided against Smiley Central, as I've heard many bad things about it. But can someone please tell me any *other sites* where I can get emoticons for my MSN & Yahoo Messengers. Is there ANY safe to use??? If so, which ones ?? They will also HAVE to be completely FREE. I'm not in a position to subscribe to *pay* sites.
Thanks :)

I have also lost my active X bar in the past and one way to get it back is to minimize then maximize your screen. I don't know much about computers either. Also about the security problem you might try going to Start that is at the botom of your screen. then control panel. Then security settings. Just disable your antivirus or any of that stuff. Then you should be able to download smiley central Just make sure to activate you antivirus after you finish downloading smiley central. Good Luck

have u considered the thought that ur security setting wont allow u to download smiley central emoticons for a reason? u have that security for stoping things like smiley central, y would u try to go around it and get ur PC infected with a virus on purpose?

I recomened not downloading that thing atall, there are loadz of websites where you can get loadz of smiley's.. smiley central isn't one of them... Once you have downloaded it you will find that your pc may run much slower and you will constantly get pop-up ads advertising other products.. how do you think it's free.. See the thing is, these types of things normally know what the public wants when making products like these... And most of the time these companies have lots of financial backing so they are able to afford large scale web-advertising... How do you think they are able to advertise it on myspace.. Don't do it!

you should do the following:
goto internet settings
goto security tab
click on custom level
change the relevant options like the activex things in that page to enable or you could set the security level to medium low by changing it on pulldown menu and click reset next to it.
this should make it work possibly cos yours is xpsp2 as mine also
