Trouble with Email Signatures

Outlook 2002, Word 2002. I used the Outlook email signature editor
(Tools-Options-Mail Format-Signatures-Edit) to create some signatures that
contain both text and graphics(a scanned image of the signature). When I try
to create a new email message using the Outlook editor, I get the following
error message:

Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this
page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.

Indeed, the page displays with the text intact, but the graphic image is
missing and just a box is in its place.

I try using Word as the email editor and the signature displays fine,
however, if I want to change to a different signature (like I can do with the
Outlook editor by Insert-Signature) I find no way to do so.

So I need a way to overcome the ActiveX security problem with the Outlook
editor or a way to insert another signature when using Word. ANY HELP WILL
BE APPRECIATED! THANKS.
 
Have you found how to solve the problem: I am having the exact same issue!
Thanks!

Try changing the security settings of your Internet Zone to allow ActiveX.
 
I have tried all the possible security settings: this seems to be something
with office xp and outlook 2003 on the same machine.

Well, I have Outlook 2003 and Office XP on the same machine and I don't have
the problem, so I don't think that's it. I thought I saw something else in
this same newsgroup that suggested another answer.
 
actually three computers in our office are affected: they had office 2000,
been upgraded to office xp and had outlook 2003 installed. the other
computers are not affected (they were not upgraded from office 2000).

Exactly the situation with my computer.
