667485 2008-05-09 01:50:00 I installed a game that was on the latest PCWorld disk called "Night of a Million Billion Zombies".

Unfortunately the game never worked but worse than that it altered some settings on my PC that I don't know how to undo. I'm hoping someone there does.

The msg I get is as follows: "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, this page may not display correctly"

I'm using XP and cannot find anyway of altering any security settings that might affect ActiveX.

Any clues please?

667486 2008-05-09 01:54:00 Its probably one of the options you need to tick under tools / internet options / advanced / security.

If youre using IE. Might have to tick the 2nd option under security

Thanks for the suggestion . Unfortunately no difference . I also tried using the default settings for IE but also no change

667488 2008-05-09 02:13:00 Are you using a firewall, besides XP's?

If so, which firewall?

667490 2008-05-09 02:23:00 Hmm dont think that includes a firewall. WHAT version of IE is it? 6 or 7?

If its 7, go to advanced and click on reset

667491 2008-05-09 02:34:00 Thanks for your help. Looks like you were right first time. When I hit the "restore defaults" button under Advanced I didn't notice that the 2nd box had been unticked again. Changing it to "ticked" solved the problem.

and sorry my firewall is using ZoneAlarm. Had a wee blond moment there. Thanks again Speedy
