cannot download this program? Something is blocking me from downloading
active to take lessons on making a web page.
 
In IE, Tools | Internet Options | Security | Internet Zone | and enable ActiveX

If you feel your current issue is a results of installing
a Service Pack or security update, please contact
Microsoft Product Support Services:
http://support.microsoft.com
If the problem can be shown to have been caused by a
security update, then there is usually no charge for the call.
==============================================
 
Have your Firewall allow it. Put update.microsoft.com in your "trusted"
sites list.

Go to the windows updates newsgroups, since this is off topic...
 
Just a note of caution: Setting "Allow ActiveX Controls" to "Enable" is a
serious security risk. It is better to set it to "Prompt." A number of
viruses, trojan horses, adware and spyware are spawned by ActiveX Controls.
If the setting is "Enable," your browser will automatically install them
when you enter a page having one in it. With "Prompt," you have a chance to
intercept it, and either allow or disallow ActiveX controls on a
case-by-case basis.
