How to undo a security option

I have WinXP professional SP installed on my system.

Everytime I go to a certain website it always asks me to load the same
program before doing what I need to do. XP SP2 gave me the option to 1. Ask
every time it loads (default), 2. Load every time without asking or 3. Don't
ask again.

Thinking that its already been loaded enough times, I replied "3. Don't ask
again". Dumb move.

Now I can't get onto the site because this program needs to be loaded each
time.

I'm sure this "option to choose" whether or not it loads is a WinXP SP2
feature. How can I reverse my doings so that I once again get the message to
load the program?

Thank you in advance for helping me out of this problem.
 
Let Me Rephrase my question:

I read in an article that Windows XP Service Pack 2 will block downloads
from specific publishers - Some sites kept prompting us to install
programs - also known as unwanted programs. Others are very aggressive that
even if you selected No, the program will still be installed. Not anymore
with Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2 because a Security Warning will be
shown to you which you can select whether to "Always run software from ..."
or "Never run software from ..." and/or "Ask me every time"

I have someone that has XP SP2 installed. I clicked on "Never run software
from..." (not thinking ... duhhhh...)

How can I undo that problem so that it once again installs the required
program?

Thank you in advance for your help
 
In IE>Tools>Manage Add-ons you will see the list of publishers or items
(ActiveX, toolbar, BHO...) that are currently blocked. Select the blocked
item then click Allow.

Hope this helps.

Phil,
Remove the publisher out from Untrusted Publisher list.

Go to Internet Options>Content tab. Select "Publishers" then select
"Untrusted Publishers". You should the vendor or publishers' list that are
currently blocked. If found, select it then click remove. Try visiting the
site again
