Active X controls

[astondog]

I keep getting this message ' Your current security settings prohibit running Active X controls on this page. As a result the page may not be displayed properly'

Could anyone also advise me on a download to inform me when my system resourses are low.
Cheers

Hi there......firstly which operating system are you using, and what version of internet explorer?

[boobesque]

and what web page's give you the message. asking if you want to enable an active x control is a security feature. some malicious websites would use an active x to hijack your browser. however some websites have legitimate uses for active x. so you dont want to globally enable active x contols. you should be able to just click on the active x warning bar when it pops up and choose to allow the active x or block it. make your choice wisely

With the resurgence of the non-IE browser market in the last couple of years I don't think there are many reputable websites that still use Active X, so I'd be very suspicious of this one.

Also consider using Mozilla Firefox for browsing. i beleive it is Active X free!!
