Your current security settings prohibit running Active X controls on this page

Q: I am currently using Windows XP. Every time I access Internet Explorer, security messages pop up. This prevents me from using several web pages.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

"Your current security settings prohibit running Active X controls on this page. As a result, the page may

not display correctly "

I have tried changing my levels of security from medium to low and high. This hasn't made any difference.

The messages still pop up. My security setting is currently set on 'low'.

Any ideas???

A: Follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. From the top menu, click "Tools > Internet Options".
3. Click the "Security" tab.
4. Click the "Custom level" button.
5. Under "Reset Custom Settings", select "Medium" from the drop-down menu.
6. Click the "Reset" button.
7. When asked to confirm, click "Yes".
8. Click "OK".
