ActiveX install

When I go to a gme site (king.com) I am asked to install an activeX control

every time. This is a hassle but not a problem.

The problem is I thought I'd outwit the infamous "yellow bar". When the

install window came up I opened up the options and checked "always allow"

from this site.

Now when I go to king.com the page just loads, reloads, and reloads. It

tells me that it doesn't detect flashplayer (which is installed and up to

date), and then just blinks on and off, on and off.

Obviously, it is NOT installing the activeX and I need to know how to undo

the "always install"---------I've been thru the security settings, tried to

see if it somehow got blocked but the blocked part of Add-ons is nowhere to

be found....

help.

Thank you.

The IE 'yellow bar" is, IMO, one of the more idiotic things Microshaft

has done to try to make their inherently insecure browser more secure.

My advice is dump IE and switch to Firefox or Opera. You won't have to

deal with the "yellow bar" anymore and will be using a more secure

browser.

Don't you suppose the activeX control will be necessary if the OP wants

to play their game?
