1. Try temporarily disabling your firewall to see if HTTPS then works
correctly.
2. You may have other software installed that is blocking ActiveX content.
3. An option in anti-spyware software you installed and enabled.
4. Could be a BHO (browser helper object) that you installed to provide
additional protection; use BHO Demon to see them, or use Spybot's tools to
list them.
5. You may have used SpywareBlaster to install kill switches in the registry
so certain ActiveX controls will not run, and you've hit one of those
malware AX controls.
6. It may be that you installed lots of other stuff that will affect the web
over which IE has no control.
7. It may be that the deveoper of the website has programmed something into
the page that is causing the problem. You will have to contact the
webmaster and let them know.

Here is a bit more information that might be of help -

How can I tell which entry is causing
a problem with a web site?
-------------------------------------
Web pages can draw content from multiple sources, including third party
sources. Thus, for example, you might visit
www.cnn.com and encounter a
widget on that page that doesn't work. But that widget isn't being drawn
from cnn.com (which isn't even IE-SPYAD). In this case, you'll have to
identify the sources for the content on cnn.com's home page. It's likely
that the widget is being pulled from some third-party source (say,
doubleclick.net) that IS in IE-SPYAD's list of Restricted domains and
servers. If you can identify the source for content that isn't working, you
can then remove the entry which is causing the problem from the Restricted
sites zone.
It can be a bit tricky to identify all the sources for a web page's content.
One good tip-off that a web page is drawing content from multiple sources is
the "Mixed" zone icon that you might see in the bottom right-hand corner of
Internet Explroer. A "Mixed" zone means that a web page is drawing content
from multiple sources which fall into different zones. One of those sources
is likely in the Restricted sites zone.
There are several ways to identify all the sources for a web page's content:
1. Info on the page itself
Hover your mouse over images (esp. banner ads) and other links and watch the
bottom band of Internet Explorer, which previews the sites which are linked
to. You can also right-click on images and look at the "Properties" for
those images. Either method will provide some indication as to where page
content is being drawn from.
2. The IE6 Privacy Report
In Internet Explorer 6.0, go "View" >> "Privacy Report." The Privacy Report
gives you a rundown of "Web sites with content on the page."
3. Personal firewall logs
Most personal firewalls provide logging of some sort, and you can look
through your firewall's logs to get some indication of the sources for a
page's content.
4. View the HTML source
Go "View" >> "Source" to open the HTML source for a page. Looking through
HTML can be a pain, but it does reveal all the sources for page content.
Note: if the site uses frames, you'll have to open the framed page
separately (right click on the framed page, then "Open Frame in New
Window"). Then you can "View" >> "Source."
It's not always difficult to track down the specific entry in the Restricted
sites zone that's causing a web site not to work, but sometimes it does
require some patience.
Hope the above is of assistance to someone.
Best,
Eric L. Howes

Check for bogus files in Active X Controls
Courtesy of Jim Byrd
You can check the following concerning ActiveX components trying to reach
defunct servers. If these particular ones don't show up, check for any
other anomalous entries:
Take a look in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\%SystemRoot%\Downloaded Program Files (these
are ActiveX components), and see if you have something there called Tracker
Class. If so, right click and click Remove (don't just delete it). This is
a hi-jack program that's trying to reach a server that's no longer working,
so it hangs up.
There are some others that are similar in effect also, so if you don't have
Tracker Class, right click on each thing in this folder then select
Properties. The Codebase line will often give you a clue as to where
something came from. If it looks like it might not belong, try Remove.
Things like Sun Java Runtimes and Macromedia stuff like Shockwave or Apple
Quicktime are normal, so use some judgment about what you eliminate. Mostly
you'll be asked to re-download them if you Remove something that's actually
needed.
Also check in Add-Remove Programs for Surfchoice 1.1 and remove it. It is
also tracker software to a defunct server.
Additional important information about removing ActiveX controls is in the
following Microsoft articles:

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread

Hope this helps
