ActiveX Controls

[Paul]

I have MSN as my internet service provider, and when I go
into PHOTOS, I get a Warning Message that says "Your
current security settings prohibit running ActiveX
controls on this page. As a result, the page may not
display correctly." When I click OK, the screen says
that I don't have "Picture IT" installed. But I do, as
it came with MSN.

MSN couldn't help, and the said I would have to go to the
Internet Explorer people. Can someone help. Thanks.

I can't help you, but from reading these forums I am
learning that whenever you get an error message talking
about security settings prohibit running ActiveX
controls, the settings are not the problem. The error
message is a lie.

Repliers may suggest checking IE security settings, but
you probably have never changed them. They may also
suggest you reinstall XP/IE, but that won't solve the
problem either. Or they may suggest you add a particular
site to the trusted zone. That won't help, either.

I have seen many posts on this forum that never seem to
get a fix posted that works.

Sorry for the bad news.

Kinda a useless answer, isn't it Lee? If you don't belive problems can be
resolved and you might as well give up, why bother to waste bandwidth here.
Go someplace else.

For the original poster . . . I suggest you do look at your Security Zone
settings for this particular site. Security Zone setting do get changed by
patches and so on. ActiveX Controls do get changed from enable to prompt or
disable, so check them and get back to us. We wil be happen to at least try
.. . .
