ActiveX

[Judy L]

I got an email from my daughter and the following message came up

======
Your current security settings prohibit running Active X controls on this
page. As a result the page may not display correctly.
======

It did load eventually - but this has only just started happening. What do
I do??

Nothing, this is a nice security feature that protects you from emails that
contain malicious content. I don't use Outlook Express any more so my
memory is hazy on this but you should see an override in that screen that
allows you to open the message anyhow. If no override choice, you could add
your daughter's email to your "trusted sites" in OE's security settings.

You can go to Tools | Options | Security and put OE in the Internet zone.

Frank, I got to tools - options - security - Im not sure how you mean put OE
in the internet zone. The Internet zone is currently set at custom level -
the "Sites" option is greyed out.
