Activex problem

[Paul-B]

Hi all

This may have been asked before, although I've searched the last week
or so and haven't found it, so if I've missed a similar post I
apologise.

Windows XP with all SP's, updates etc. applied
Office 2003 - Outlook 2003.

When I open some emails I get the following message:

"One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:

1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on
this page, or
2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.

As a result, the page may not display correctly"

This has only started happening over the past few weeks.

Can anyone help, or point me to a solution for this?

TIA

Outlook 2003 opens all HTML formatted messages in IE's restricted zone.
This is a good thing that you shouldn't disable or change because it is
quite possible that you are starting to see some types of spam/viruses that
are trying to exploit a weakness. If you really wish to go there and make
Outlook 2003 less secure, then see Tools > Options > Security tab in Outlook
2003.
