ActiveX security in WinXP SP2 beta
Greetings,
I recently installed WinXP SP2 Beta. I am not sure if this is the proper forum for discussing that, so please redirect me if it's not. I have a bluetooth adapter connected to my computer. When I go to Bluetooth Places, the window pops open, but I immediately get continuous error boxes: Microsoft Internet Explorer Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly. OK, I understand the purpose of this when surfing the internet as well as what to do to resolve it (add site to Trusted Sites list). However, I am at a loss as to what to do when it's something running on my system and I am not on a webpage. Thanks for any help offered. |

ActiveX security in WinXP SP2 beta
Doug;
Don't forget MSDN also has access to SP2. However if that is the case, I think the OP is on his own as there is no other support for SP2. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] An easier way to read newsgroup messages: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...oups/setup.asp http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Doug Knox MS-MVP" wrote in message ...

ActiveX security in WinXP SP2 beta
Greetings --
This is not longer necessarily the case. WinXP's beta SP2 is widely available to many people who are not part of the official test, and have not signed any Non-Disclosure Agreements. WinXP's beta SP2 is freely, easily, and legitimately available to many subscribers of both MSDN and TechNet. I certainly don't recall signing an NDA to receive my TechNet subscription, per se. Of course, there will be many people frequenting this news group who cannot provide any answers, because they are official beta-testers and did sign an NDA.

ActiveX security in WinXP SP2 beta
Greetings --
If you're an "official" beta tester, you will have been provided information about the proper channels through which you should report problems and seek assistance. If such is available, that should be your first resource for assistance. That said, I realize that WinXP's beta SP2 is widely available to many people who are not part of the official beta test process. For instance, WinXP's beta SP2 is easily and legitimately available to many subscribers of both MSDN and TechNet. Of course, those of us who have obtained SP2 from either of these sources do not have recourse to any official support; we'll have to try to help one another. I've encountered the same phenomenon on at least one secure site. What I did was to modify my Custom Security Settings to Enable for "Download signed ActiveX controls" and Prompt for "Download unsigned ActiveX controls." I also added the sire's specific URL to the "Trusted sites." This resulted in a prompt to install the ActiveX control (again, as I'd visited the site repeatedly without trouble before installed SP2). I was then able to access the site without any further problems.

ActiveX security in WinXP SP2 beta
All,
Thank you for the reply. To address to first issue, yes I received this CD via the TechNet Plus subscription that I have. I didn't see a beta forum to log into, but perhaps I was not looking in the correct places. Second, regarding the ActiveX security, I have had the same success using the method you described to access secure websites. However, my dilemma is opening a window on my own computer. When Belkin's bluetooth adapter and its associated software is installed it creates a folder- like window that I open. It then has various places to go, one of which is "My Bluetooth Places". Any of those windows that I open triggers the ActiveX security protocol and I am unable to get access to my cell phone. In fact, the window keeps popping up and I am unable to click the close box on the offending window because the alert box keeps coming up. What is the URL or zone that would be for any program running on my computer that isn't going out to a website. The only thing I knew to try was 127.0.0.1, but that didn't work. After a couple of weeks of trying, I am pretty close to just uninstalling it because I cannot sync my phone up with my Outlook. I do appreciate your help. If I find anything out, I will certainly share it with this forum to help them in possibly similar struggles.
