IE 6.0 SP2

[skip]

I am running Win XP sp2 and I am trying to download from a site.
Everytime I try to do this I get the error about having to click on a
yellow bar that has the comments "the site might require the ActiveX
control...Click here to install and then an x at the end of the line.
This yellow bar does not come up. I have all the ActiveX in the tools>
internet options> Advance.
I have even tryed to reload the IE, it worked, WinXP, it still works,
but I still can't get the bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi skip

Try the following and see if it helps:

If your Security level is set to high then it will be blocking ActiveX
controls: Set the Security level to Medium.

For best security set Active X settings to:

Prompt
Disable
Disable
Prompt
Prompt

also.......

Allow active content to run in files on My Computer - Windows XP Service
Pack 2:

See: "Various Registry Fixes."
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

or........

If you have McAfee:

Disable the McAfee ActiveX controls Applet filters in the Internet Filter
window when you select Customize your VShield settings

"Your current security settings prohibit running Active X controls on this
page. As a result pages may not display correctly."

or

Also check the following:

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.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Sorry for the delay. I try changing the ActiveX statements you
suggested and it didn't work. I should have also mentioned that this
problem started after downloading the XP SP2.
