ActiveX problems in IE
First, have a look at this link:
Error Message: An ActiveX Control on This Page Is Not Safe... [Q182744]
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q182/7/44.aspI shall quote my friend Max Spyridskas (mspork@hotmail.com) about the more complicated causes of active x problems, because he says the following so well....
\"..We may need a bit more detail of your system setup......
On WinNT4 systems in particular, one known problem is...
Comcat.dll version 5.0 works with Ole32.dll version 4.71 and above;
Comcat.dll version 4.71 works with Ole32.dll version 4.0 (this should be the WinNT4 configuration.)
*** Some KB references about Comcat.dll issues *** NT systems are a bit different from Win9x systems (DCOM is a core NT component)...

Error Message: An ActiveX Control on this Page Is Not Safe
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q251/3/65.asp*** With Win9x, you can also restore and re-register files using the same basic techniques described in KB Q251365. For novice users, I think the easy thing to do is reinstall the DCOM components.

If you still have problems after that is all straight, triple check your Browser security settings (== registry and KB Q182569).
If appropriate, I suggest you maintain\\re-set security to \"safe/default\" levels for general use. Evil script emails of recent past (XLOVEYOU & ANNAK viruses) may still be floating around.
It is remotely possible that these warnings are \"real\" and indicate either an issue with your local security settings or the presence of unsigned scripts or ActiveX controls...
...-but- security & scripts are not the most common cause for this message (especially for NT4 users). This sort of message will display with some Email attachments (attached script files). The script may or may not be really evil but you should take any warning of this type seriously. This warning should be less common on a web page but in any case, be cautious as you examine unknown attachments.
