ActiveX controlls blocked machine-wide

[Guest G. More]

Windows XP Home SP2

AVG antivirus, Windows firewall.

 

When browsing pages with ActiveX controlls the IE information bar reads:

"Your security settings do not allow Web sites to use ActiveX controls

installed on your computer. This page may not display correctly. Click here

for options."

 

Clicking on the bar, the ONLY option available is Help. The option to

install or allow ActiveX controlls is not there.

 

I have tried everything I could find here and on the net to fix this problem

and nothing works. Reinstalling XP is NOT an option. The PC is 100% free of

malware and completely up to date (WindowsUpdate works just fine as you may

notice).

 

Creating a new user account does not fix the problem, the blockage is

machine-wide.

 

Help is needed ASAP!

 

Thank you for your reply.

G More,

 

Open Internet Explorer | TOOLS menu | INTERNET OPTIONS | SECURITY tab

 

Highlight INTERNET & click the DEFAULT LEVEL button because I would say that

CUSTOM LEVEL is selected

 

Click APPLY then click OK

 

Close IE Windows & return to the website with the ACTIVEX file

 

Also, firewalls can also block activex files too. I would never suggest you

download an UNSIGNED activex or download one from a non-trustworthy website
