thing via IE. I alwys get the security alret message that
says 'your current security settings do not allow this
file to be downloaded'

Any idea on how to work around this issue.
 
Hi ReGEdit

Try the following and see if it helps:

Uninstall the firewall in you AV
Uninstall the firewall in SP2

If still no joy...

Troubleshooting: Your current security settings prohibit running Active X
controls

Test Your ActiveX Installation
http://www.pcpitstop.com/testax.asp

When you first open the site you'll get a box that asks if your want to
allow the ActiveX, say no. Then you'll get the box that tells you that the
page may not display correctly...s'alright. Then follow the instructions
there and see if it helps.

If not......try the following:

Be sure your Java is "Enabled."

To enable Java, take these steps:
Internet Explorer User:
From the Menu bar, select Tools.
Select Internet Options.
Select Security.
Internet.
Click Custom Level.
Scroll down the Security Settings box to Microsoft VM, then Java Permission,
select Medium Safety. Click OK.
A prompt box will now appear asking "Warning... Are you sure you want to
change the security settings for this zone? Yes/No." Click Yes.
Click OK.

Here is a bit more information that might be of help -

How can I tell which entry is causing
a problem with a web site?
-------------------------------------

Web pages can draw content from multiple sources, including third party
sources. Thus, for example, you might visit www.cnn.com and encounter a
widget on that page that doesn't work. But that widget isn't being drawn
from cnn.com (which isn't even IE-SPYAD). In this case, you'll have to
identify the sources for the content on cnn.com's home page. It's likely
that the widget is being pulled from some third-party source (say,
doubleclick.net) that IS in IE-SPYAD's list of Restricted domains and
servers. If you can identify the source for content that isn't working, you
can then remove the entry which is causing the problem from the Restricted
sites zone.

It can be a bit tricky to identify all the sources for a web page's content.
One good tip-off that a web page is drawing content from multiple sources is
the "Mixed" zone icon that you might see in the bottom right-hand corner of
Internet Explroer. A "Mixed" zone means that a web page is drawing content
from multiple sources which fall into different zones. One of those sources
is likely in the Restricted sites zone.

There are several ways to identify all the sources for a web page's content:

1. Info on the page itself

Hover your mouse over images (esp. banner ads) and other links and watch the
bottom band of Internet Explorer, which previews the sites which are linked
to. You can also right-click on images and look at the "Properties" for
those images. Either method will provide some indication as to where page
content is being drawn from.

2. The IE6 Privacy Report

In Internet Explorer 6.0, go "View" >> "Privacy Report." The Privacy Report
gives you a rundown of "Web sites with content on the page."

3. Personal firewall logs

Most personal firewalls provide logging of some sort, and you can look
through your firewall's logs to get some indication of the sources for a
page's content.

4. View the HTML source

Go "View" >> "Source" to open the HTML source for a page. Looking through
HTML can be a pain, but it does reveal all the sources for page content.
Note: if the site uses frames, you'll have to open the framed page
separately (right click on the framed page, then "Open Frame in New
Window"). Then you can "View" >> "Source."

It's not always difficult to track down the specific entry in the Restricted
sites zone that's causing a web site not to work, but sometimes it does
require some patience.

Hope the above is of assistance to someone.

Best,

Eric L. Howes

Tonight I found that SpywareBlaster was interfering with download with
that message. Strange.
Disabled protection and downloaded things fine.
Also if no SpywareBlaster, I would disable any similar protections
(Spybot, etc) and see.
Please post reply/results. Good Luck. Bill.
