You're not reading the messages properly. You need to enable ActiveX
controls in order for it to work.
Tools/Internet Options/Security/Custom Level ....change all the ActiveX
settings that are currently on "Disable" to "Prompt" (or "Enable" if you're
that brave but I wouldn't recommend it).

There is no need to open up the entire Internet zone to service one chat
site. Put the problem site in the Trusted zone. Leave the Internet zone
with activex disabled or on prompt.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 Power Tweaks Web Accessories:

gives you a new menu item to toss the current page web site in the
Trusted or Restricted zone.
