hi everyone. each time i load msn's home page i get a
message saying my security settings won't allow me to run
activex controls on this page. i looked up help in
microsoft online and it told me i need to reset me
security settings for certain sites. i tried doing that,
but everytime i set my security setting to medium-low for
any particular site in my custom internet security
settings it goes right back to medium. it won't stay
reset at the mediume-low setting i choose. can anyone
help me please? thanks for taking the time and HAPPY NEW
YEAR.

Launch Internet Explorer.
1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. In the Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings box, click
Internet.
4. Under Security level for this zone, if the security level is set to High,
move the slider down to Medium.
If it is not possible for security concerns to move the slider to Medium, then
follow these steps:
1. Under Security level for this zone, click Custom Level. The Security Settings
dialog box appears.
2. Under the ActiveX controls and plug-ins subsection Download signed ActiveX
controls, click either Enable or Disable.
3. The computer will still be protected from unwanted intrusions while allowing
legitimate program operations to proceed.
4. Click OK to close the Security Settings dialog box. Click Yes if prompted to
confirm the change.
5. Click Apply, and then OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
