Re: ActiveX Settings Changed ???

[Kent W. England [MVP]]

Since you use Outlook Express there is some chance/hope that you might
provide some feedback, so I'll give this a shot.

1) Some users think that a recent Windows Update causes this sudden
change. There are too many to rule it out. Let us know what you think.
You can uninstall updates from Add/Remove programs. What are the latest
updates that you installed and when?

2) You changed the Internet zone security settings for scripts. If you
went into Internet Options, security tab, Internet zone and fiddled,
then set the zone back to defaults. Toss the site in the Trusted zone if
that doesn't work. If trusted zone doesn't work, then definitely
something else is doing it.

3) You are running an anti-spyware program or jazzed-up firewall (NIS?)
in the background and it is intercepting activex controls and the web
site is interpreting this as a security setting that is too high.

Hey Kent,

I haven't done anything recently that I haven't done many times before
(that's why I'm so confused as to what might have caused this).

1.) I haven't run any Windows updates lately.
2.) I haven't gone into the internet security tab to fiddle with anything at
all.
3.) I do run SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.2. I have run this program in the
past without any problems, but I did run a check this morning before I
started noticing this new error message.

Could it be SpyBot. If so why all of a sudden and how to I fix my problem
with the current ActiveX settings?


Thanks again for the help...
