Problems with ActiveX controls

[Guest]

I cannot download some files. I get a message saying I need to go to the
control panel, Internet Options and go to one of the seven tabs that are
there to enable ActiveX. When I go to control panel and click on Internet
Options, the file is called "Properties" not "Internet Properties" and I only
have two tabs - Privacy and Programs - instead of the seven I should have -
General, Security Privacy, Content, Communications, Programs and Advanced.

Apparently somehow this program has been modified and I am short some of the
things that belong there. My question is how do I get the full group of tabs
back so I can enable ActiveX.

Thanks for any help I can get.

What website is this? Make sure it's a trustworthy and valid one. ActiveX
controls can be used to infect your computer. Also, what version of
Windows/What operating system are you using? For my computer it is Windows
XP and it says Internet Properties. The fact is, if it were a Microsoft
product and you're using a Windows Validation tool, it won't goof up like
that. The seven tabs is on my Internet Properties Window as well so I'm
immediately assuming that you're not using Windows XP. In any case, chances
are that these files are for Windows XP or they're a package of malware
waiting to spring open onto your computer. The following things would help
people here at the newsgroup fix your problem with you:
1. What operating system are you using?
2. What are you trying to download exactly and from what website?

If your files are located in ntfs then all u have to do is first disable

for the option) then right click properties the files or folders u want to
