When accessing certains sites. I get an IE message stating that my
security settings prevent me from displaying active-x controls on the page.
This is something that has only recently happened and sites I could access
previsouly I an now no longer able to access. I have made sure all the
active-x settings are enabled in internet options but this does not help.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
