Every time I log on to the internet, I get a prompt that
tells me, "I can not run Active X due to current security
settings."

I have contacted Dell and my ISP. They worked as far as
they could and asked me to check into the software.
Anyone have an idea as to how to fix this?

My settings are at the default settings.

Are you running Norton's Firewall as there is a setting within Nortons which can
block activex? You would find it under Custom Security Levels?
If you're not running Norton's Firewall, perhaps the Firewall you're running has
blocked the activex.
Just suggestions.

Launch Internet Explorer.
1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. In the Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings box, click
Internet.
4. Under Security level for this zone, if the security level is set to High,
move the slider down to Medium.
If it is not possible for security concerns to move the slider to Medium, then
follow these steps:
1. Under Security level for this zone, click Custom Level. The Security Settings
dialog box appears.
2. Under the ActiveX controls and plug-ins subsection Download signed ActiveX
controls, click either Enable or Disable.
3. The computer will still be protected from unwanted intrusions while allowing
legitimate program operations to proceed.
4. Click OK to close the Security Settings dialog box. Click Yes if prompted to
confirm the change.
5. Click Apply, and then OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
