Question on ActiveX Message Box

I have an ActiveX question and my operating system is Windows XP Pro version
5.1.2600.
Whenever I use the internet dictionary to look up a word and I want to hear
the pronunciation of that word, I click on the little red sound icon and then
I get a pop-up window with a message that says “Click to run an ActiveX
control on this web pageâ€. I click the OK button and then I hear the word. If
I want to hear the pronunciation repeated, the message box reappears and I
have to click OK again. In fact, it appears every time I want to hear
something. This is quite annoying. How can I stop this message window from
appearing? Do I have to go into Control Panel to resolve this ActiveX issue
or is this something that can be changed through the Internet Options menu
from Explorer?

Click to expand...

This might help:

Open Internet Options, click the Security tab, click Custom Level,
change "Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls" to "Disable".

Or, in the same area, change the "Reset to:" to "Medium", click "Reset".

Having the same problem as ReginaM. Tried disabling ActiveX control as you
described but still seeing repeated “Click to run an ActiveX control on this
web page†dialogs.
