'your security settings are preventing Active X controls
to run on this page'
I have enabled everything under security, under internet
options. also changed it to low from high. but no luck.

Hi,
I havd exactly the same problems over past 2 days, with same message
displayed. I have changed everything on my security settings. I though it was
my computer but it sounds like it a problem for quite a few people, have no
idea what to do now either!!!

Try adding the web site to your trusted sites. I had to do this for
ravantivirus and then it downloaded fine. Add *.url.com

Make sure in Security that the Internet Zone is
selected, then click the Default Level Button
and then OK.

BTW, you should not manually enable
everything there, unless you know what
you're doing. Some of the stuff there
is very risky for enabling, especially
unsigned ActiveX.

I am having the same problem too. But my situation is a tad different. I
had to localize my company's website on to my boss's laptop computer so she
could take the site with her to a convention to display in a place that we
are not sure that there will be internet access. To make it as easy as
possible for my boss to locate the site on her computer, I put an html link
on her desktop that opens it from a folder on her desktop labeled "Local
Site." When clicking on the html shortcut, the page does not display due to
the security settings in internet explorer. However, when I type in the
address into the internet security settings as a trusted site, it doesn't
recognize the site because it isn't http:// or similar. What should I do to
make this page display without problem as I know if I leave it the way it is,
for her to click on the notification to allow the blocked content, she will
go out of her mind.

Have you tried a link using localhost,
like http://localhost/ and then append
the rest of the path to that? That's
what I use for local sites. It then will
run the site automatically in the Intranet
Zone. BTW, you can always add non
https sites to the trusted zone, if you
toggle the https check box there, but
you shouldn't have to do that for this.

You also need to make sure that
IIS is installed and running on that
computer. It's in Add/Remove
programs, Windows Components,
and that the service is started. Try
running: IISReset /Restart
