WinXP SP2 and the ActiveX Blocker

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

there is a setting in i.e. to "allow active content" - either locally or
remote.
it is in the internet security settings.

this should take care of it for you.

OrDracul.
After you finish the SP2 upgrade, you should go back and check all your IE/OE, firwall, security settings. You may need to change them back to your desired ones.

Also before you download the update, depending on your AV program, it might be neccessary to disable it. Some AV programs cause problems with it.

Thank you so very much - I believe that I will verify my system status and
upgrade immediately.
