problem with IE 6

I am getting "your security settings do not allow websites to use activeX
controls installed on your computer. I have enabled and disabled automatic
prompting for ActiveX controls and automatic prompting for file downloads -
neither works - I still get the error. I have even uninstalled and
reinstalled IE 6

Hi,
1. If the Windows version is XP SP2 or XP SP3, change this setting, just to
test. I would not leave this checked: Internet Options> Advanced> Security>
(check) Allow active content to run in files on My Computer.

2. Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone, set to default.

3. Is a third-party security program blocking ActiveX/active content?

Hope this helps,

I did step 1 and 2 but still does not work
how do I find out if I have a 3rd party product that's controlling this?

Hi,
Look through settings of antivirus/security suite programs for an option to
block ActiveX, block active content, block scripts/scripting, etc.

Assuming that this happens at a few selected sites, if you *do* trust these
sites, try placing them in Trusted Sites.
To add a trusted site... Internet Options> Security> Trusted Sites> Uncheck
"Require server verification" and enter the site as (for example)
*.amazon.com

Which version of Windows? (Including SP level- SP1, SP2 ,etc.) This
information will be available from right-clicking My Computer> Properties.

Which specific version of Internet Explorer (from IE> Help> About?) e.g.
6.00.2900.5512
