Well, you can always turn that warning off and always accept, or always decline Active X controls. However, for security reasons, I don't recommend that you turn it off. If you really want to, I'd be happy to walk you through the process.

rushin....why would you NOT want to block activeX? you deffinitely want IE to be warning you about the activeX controlls...that's where most spyware comes in....is it really that big of a pain to have to click a button when you know what you're downloading is safe?

I have tried this already but I get this message (The file 'plugin.ocx000' on Windows NT Service Pack Uninstall Directory is needed). I don't know what to do about it.

have you checked your settings in your internet options

SECURITY
mine are
internet...low
local intranet...medium low
Trusted sites...low
Resticted sites...high
In the privacy tab its set at accept all cookies

These are custom settings so every time i went to a site it would ask if i would allow then put check mark in box not show it again . But check your settings maybe too high that does not allow active x

Hi lademars...

You don't want to lessen the security...there's just too much crud out there just waiting for a chance to jump all over your machine. Best just to make sure you have the settings configured properly.

Open "Internet Options" from Control Panel. Under the "Security" tab, make sure the slider is set to Medium for the Internet Zone. Then configure this Zone (click the Custom Level... button), the Trusted Zone, and the Restricted Zone as shown in this GUIDE.

Let us know if these settings help...

As far as I can see all my settings are just like the Guide.
