activex settings prohibit running ActiveX controls

[Bob Hartung]

Hi all,
The issue: Completely patched WinXP with all updates and service
packs through today 7/20/2005.

Symantec Internet Security gives the following error:
Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.

I checked the Symantec site for info. This led me to run services.msc,
and I received the same message. I have set everything to default
without result. I cannot find any useful information in the MS
knowledge base or through Google.

Any ideas before I wipe out this install and start over with Fedora Core?

Thanks,

Bob

I did all that. Also, why does this occur when I run "services.msc"
with administrator priveleges?

Thanks,

Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:

Double-click "1200" and set it's data to 0.
