====================================
I can't see any connection between this information and the warning I now
get when I want to install the Active-X from HP's website. How do I get RID
of that SP2 warning thing in I.E.?

Cat roots etc? I don't even understand the terminology at that site. That
page tells you to do things technicians are qualified to do, not average PC
users such as myself. If I mess the the cat roots I have no one here to
help fix my PC.

Can you please just tell me how to STOP this SP2 I.E. warning window from
coming up when I try to download an active X?


One way is to put the relevant HP site into your list of URLs in the
Trusted Zone (IE, Tools, Options, Security, Trusted Zone).

ActiveX controls can be lethal. I would strongly advise against
allowing *all* web sites to drop arbitrary ActiveX controls on your
PC. You may well wish you could go back to a working system with
annoying warnings, after being nailed by commercial malware and
sometimesworse, delivered through ActiveX intrusions.
