Hi espressobean :
Yes, it is McAfee.
I get an error message saying internet explorer has blocked the active x
download. However there is no information bar (although I do get it on
other
sites). I tried doing a repair of explorer and that did not help. I did
confirm that active x is working properly (by going to the following site:
http://www.pcpitstop.com/testax.asp?print=1 )
I worked with the McAfee folks and they insist it is something wrong with
IE. It does seem odd that active x works elsewhere though....
Try working through the following and see it will help. I'll check some
other items and get back to you. Take a look at these areas of McAfee
first:
Disable the McAfee ActiveX controls Applet filters in the Internet Filter
window when you select Customize your VShield settings
"Your current security settings prohibit running Active X controls on this
page. As a result pages may not display correctly."

My settings are for Active X are:

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.
