Re: "Your current security settings prohibit ActiveX.. Pinan:
There are a couple of issues here:
1) It's not possible per se to turn off that warning. God knows people have looked for a way to disable it, but that warning box is hard coded into one another DLL used by IE. In some ways, it's the holy grail of IE users. I've been dealing with that blasted warning for well nigh seven years. After a couple ten thousand of those warnings, I'm well aware that ActiveX controls are disabled. Put simply, MS doesn't want there to be an easy, pain-free way for you to shun its proprietary technology.
2) Now, if you've put sites in the Trusted sites zone and you're still seeing the warning, that likely indicates that the sites you're visiting are pulling content from multiple sources. In other words, you visit www.site.com, but that site is displaying banner ads or Flash ads or some other obnoxious bit of garbage from ads.scam-artists.com. You can put site.com in your Trusted sites zone, but any ActiveX controls being pulled from scam-artists.com will still fall in the Internet zone (or the Restricted zone, if you've put scam-artists.com in that zone). A "Mixed" zone icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the IE window is a good tip-off that this is happening.
If you could give us an example page or two where you're encountering this problem, perhaps we could get a better idea of just what is causing those ActiveX warnings to appear.

kudos:1 | Thanks for the reply Eric 
Yes. My only issue is in the Trusted Sites zone. I'm aware that it should happen otherwise.
Here's one that does it to me. Abit motherboard site:
»www.abit.com.tw/abitweb/webjsp/e···ndex.jsp
It does show as Trusted, and not Mixed.
Thanks again. |

| On my IE 5.5, if I set the Run ActiveX Controls and Plugins to Enable, the warning goes away. |

Pinan:
As I suspected, that abit page is pulling content from at least three different sources. The main source of content is:
www.abit.com.tw
But it's also getting content from:
202.168.194.118
download.macromedia.com
Indeed, that page is loaded with Flash ads, so it's undoubtedly the macromedia.com that's causing your problem. If you've already got www.abit.com.tw or abit.com.tw in your Trusted sites zone, then the problem is this: either you've got macromedia.com in your Restricted sites zone, or you've got the Internet zone configured to disallow ActiveX controls.
Are you seeing the Flash ads at the very top and then along the sides?

1. I have no sites in Restricted Sites. In Trusted, as stated above, ActiveX are set to Enable. However, in "Internet", ActiveX is Disabled. Is that the culprit, due to Macromedia?
2. No, I don't see the ads, just the red x where they would be.
Thanks for the info on the site though.
Contango: As I stated above, ActiveX are set to Enable in Trusted Sites. Thanks anyway.
Next?

Edit:
Just for fun I added macromedia.com to my Trusted Sites. Still no go.
