Default Need help with Yahoo photo album pics

Lots of you folks publish kitty pics on Yahoo photo albums, and I always
have a problem viewing them. I have to click away an error message from
IE(6) every time. It says: "Your current settings prohibit running ActiveX
controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly." How
can I get rid of that?

Do you have Norton's installed on your PC? Because mine started doing that
once I got Norton's. I"m sur eyou can disable Nortons somewhere, but I don't
know where. Personally, I will be happy when the licence runs out and it
stops working, so I can go back to my trusty AVG anti-virus program. It
worked just fine, and didn't have the nasty habit of popping up unasked-for
in the middle of another program, making that program crash, and nor did it
block my internet sites without being asked to.

Which Norton product are you talking about? I have Norton Systemworks, which
includes NAV. I've been using it for six years with no problems whatsoever.
This IE thing just started a little while ago. I don't think it has anything
to do with whatever Norton product you are talking about.

I have an older PC with Norton A/V installed. When the subscription ran out
(a couple of years ago) it wouldn't let me unsubscribe. This is probably
because there is a critical .dll file damaged on the machine and I haven't
been able to determine which one and replace it (repair didn't work). The
PC will still boot and I can click through the errors, but every 15 days
Norton comes up and asks me to renew the subscription. Apparently it is
also still busily running a scan every week on the hard drive LOL The only
reason I still have that machine running is some of my best recipes are on
it. I'm still transferring them to this one.

Try www.webshots.com Free account. Active X - sounds like you don't have a
necessary plug-in installed. Does it ask if you want to install something?

Why not simply uninstall NAV?

Due to the damaged .dll file it won't let me uninstall. Trust me, I've
tried. I got so frustrated trying to fix this PC I finally gave up and just
bought another one LOL

I have Norton SystemWorks (including NAV) installed, and I have never had
that problem. ActiveX is actually part of Windows. I did a brief search
and found numerous sites that refer to this problem. Here is a page from
within Microsoft that describes the problem. It might be helpful to you --
but, as with many MS problems, there are many entries for you to wade
through.

If something like this happens again, a cheaper fix (unless you simply want
or need a new computer) would be to reformad your HD and reinstall programs.
Obviously, back up all data first. In fact, I am a firm believer of
Murphy's Law, so I routinely make *three* backups and alternate the disks.
