Sounds like your security setting was raised. Click  TOOLS...INTERNET

OPTIONS...SECURITY.  Try lowering the setting a notch, and then test your

Subject: FLASH: *WEIRD* ActiveX problem!



I'm having a very strange problem here. I've been using Flash for over a

year now and I've never seen anything like this. Everything was fine until a

couple of days ago, but since yesterday whenever I go to ANY page with flash

embedded using IE I get a message stating that the page send potentially

unsafe information to an ActiveX control and the contents may not display

properly, and the flash content does not show up. It works fine with the

plugin for netscape. I tried taking out the activex control and deleting the

driver, but it would not uninstall the swflash.ocx file due to some other

error. I went to macromedias page to reintall the Flash Player from the Web,

I even tried reintalling Internet Explorer. The only thing I can think of is

either 1) Something got screwed up when I defragmented my hard drive the

other day, or 2) when I installed Business Plan Pro software from Palo Alto

software the other day. I don't know why these actions would cause this but

I can't think of any other reason why my browser would just stop recognizing

Flash content. any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm about to reformat

my whole hard drive! Is this Y2K coming early or am I just missing something

simple?????


Thanks,
