Hi Neal
Try the following and see if it helps:
First,
Make sure your system is fully updated.
Then try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions
If this resolves the problem, then you have some sort of scumware on your
system. See cleaning steps here:
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
If the above does not resolve the problem, continue with the following:
These settings are good for XP. The wording should be close for other
systems
as well:
Go to Control Panel>Internet Options
Click on the Security tab>Custom level button
Make sure settings are as follows.
Download signed ActiveX Controls>set to Prompt
Download unsigned ActiveX Controls>set to Disable
Initialize and script ActiveX Controls not marked as safe>set to Disable
Run ActiveX Controls and pluggins>set to Enable
Script ActiveX Controls marked safe for scripting>set to Enable
Java permissions>set to High
Launching programs and files in a IFRAME > Prompt
Installation of Desktop items> Prompt
Navigate sub-frames across different domains>Prompt
Try deleting the History and Temporary Internet Files *folders*
for the user account having the problem. See:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

You might want to refresh your scripting engine:
Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en
and.....
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.

If you have McAfee:
Disable the McAfee ActiveX controls Applet filters in the Internet Filter
window when you select Customize your VShield settings
Hope this helps.
