Hi Sam :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Your current Security settings prohibit running ActiveX Controls:

Set your Security to Med.

and setting your browser to medium-level security

If the security level is set to high then it will be blocking active x
controls: Set the security level to Medium.

or................

For best security set Active X settings to:

My settings are for Active X are:
Prompt
Disable
Disable
Prompt

or.....

1. Try temporarily disabling your firewall to see if HTTPS then works
correctly.
2. You may have other software installed that is blocking ActiveX content.
3. An option in anti-spyware software you installed and enabled.
4. Could be a BHO (browser helper object) that you installed to provide
additional protection; use BHO Demon to see them, or use Spybot's tools to
list them.
5. You may have used SpywareBlaster to install kill switches in the registry
so certain ActiveX controls will not run, and you've hit one of those
malware AX controls.
6. It may be that you installed lots of other stuff that will affect the web
over which IE has no control.
7. It may be that the developer of the website has programmed something into
the page that is causing the problem. You will have to contact the
webmaster and let them know.
