I have tried several attempts to get ride of this message. It appeares when
I try to view web pages on my own PC. It concerns active X. Just cannot find
the right spot to dissable.
Thanks

Hi,
If I understand correctly that these pages (HTM files) are on your hard
disk, then you're encountering the "local machine zone lockdown" feature of
[XP] SP2.

There are three workarounds for this:
1. Rename each .HTM file to .HTA while it's on your hard drive. HTA files
aren't as restricted.
2. Give each page the "Mark of the Web"

3. Internet Options> Advanced> Security> check "Allow active content to run
in files on My Computer ."
You will, of course, be giving up some of the enhanced security of the XP
SP2 update.

Hope this helps,
