I am experiencing a problem with windowsXP home edition
and I.E 6.0. When I go to the internet to do my windows
update I receive the following message.
your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX
controls on this page. As a result, this page may not
display correctly.
Thx Mike
This message is displayed when your security setting in Internet Explorer is
set too high. For Windows Update to work properly, you must change the
security settings for the Internet zone to Medium or lower.
Open Internet Explorer
1. Click on Tools from the top menu bar
2. Click on Internet Options in the drop down menu
3. Click on the Security tab
4. Click on the Internet Zone icon
5. To adjust your security level, click Default Level or Custom Level.
6. Try setting the Custom level to Low and see if the ActiveX error
persists.
Another approach is to add the following domain names to the Trusted Sites
Zone:
http://Windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Http://V4.Windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://Download.Windowsupdate.com
To add these sites, follow these steps:
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Click Tools / Internet Options
3. Click the Security Tab
4. Click on the Trusted Sites Icon
5. Click on the Sites button.
6. Add the domains listed above.
