Check your Pop-up blocker settings. Disable it.

Have a look at your internet security options (Tools,  Internet Options, Security and also Privacy).  You may have got your PC protected too well to allow ActiveX controls.

go to tools-->options-->security tab and then choose the option "enable" for all the options for ActiveX controls.\n\nNote : it is not always safe to enable ActiveX controls.

If you trust the page you're visiting, don't cancel the installation.  It means that page needs the ActiveX control to show properly.  If it's installed and running, the message shouldn't pop up the next time.\n\nIf the page can't be trusted, don't visit it again.

Webjnke1's suggestion on how to enable ActiveX controls is right on the money.  I'd add something to it, however.  Enabling a blank check on all ActiveX controls is a dangerous thing.  You can infect yourself with all types of Spyware and Adware that way.\n\nIf this particular webcam(s) is important to you, consider enabling it for just that site rather than a sweeping allowance for all.

What you should know about running scripts and ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer\n\nBe cautious about allowing Web sites to run scripts or ActiveX controls on your computer. While these items can enhance Web browsing, they can also be a security risk, and it’s best to avoid using them when you can. However, some Web sites or tasks might require them and you will have to decide whether to trust ActiveX controls that Internet Explorer blocks for your safety.\n\nWhat are scripts and ActiveX controls?\n\nScripts, ActiveX controls, and other Web browser add-ons are used extensively on the Internet. They can make browsing more enjoyable by providing toolbars, stock tickers, video, animated content, and more. These programs can, however, malfunction or give you content you don’t want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information from your computer in ways you might not approve of, possibly damage data on your computer, install software on your computer without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only install these programs if you completely trust the publisher. \n\nWhat should you do about ActiveX controls and scripts running on your computer?\n\nUse the default security settings in Internet Explorer. These settings will help protect you. If you feel like you need more protection while browsing the Internet, it's OK to increase your browser’s default security settings.\n\n Important\n\nThe default security settings in Internet Explorer are designed to help protect your computer from viruses and attacks over the Internet. Microsoft strongly recommends that you leave these security settings at their default level or higher.

If you're using Internet Explorer, go to tools >> pop up blocker >> Enable pop ups.

Your security settings must be on to block popups.  Turn it off and everything should work.

I'm pretty sure there should not be any ActiveX controls in the default folder templates on Win2K, so it sounds like a virus to me. Run an anti-virus program if you have one, or install one if you can (I recommend AVG -- http://free.grisoft.com/ -- it's awesome and free). If that doesn't help, you could try reformatting and re-installing Windows, but if you do that you'll lose all your files, so your best bet is to take it to your friendly neighbourhood repair shop and get them to manually remove the virus.

When that happens your browser is protecting you from possibly downloading virus' or spyware.  If you are getting those messages just be going onto a page then be thankful you get the message and not the ActiveX program.  You probably don't want the Activex program on your pc.\n\nNow - sometimes there's an ActiveX that you really want.  Like if you're trying to play a game and it's telling you to download an ActiveX control so the game can load on your system.\n\nSo just be careful and aware of what you are letting into your system.

This problem occurs because Microsoft thinks that any attempt from a website to essentially "download" files onto your computer is a threat. This message is essentially like an integrated pop-up blocker but in my experience it usually ends up blocking what I need to access to download a form of an update. What you need to do in order to get around it is click on the yellow bar and let IE know that it's ok to download and install the ActiveX controls from this site. Or get a better browser like Firefox. =)

The "click to run activex control on this webpage" is a safety feature. It can be disabled, but I highly recommend that you do not do that. Just click and allow it if your on a webpage that you trust. The webpage may or may not work without it.\n\nNow the flash content ...\nYou may have installed Windows Update KB912945. It's an optional update that affects the way IE handles ActiveX content in web pages. Basically, it disables content until you click on it. You can find out more about it at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945 .

I think it is a windows XP SP2 thing.  It wants you to click it to activate the activex control.

The wording of the message will vary depending on your flavor of web browser software, but typically you will have a checkbox on that pop-up warning that says something like...\n\n"Don't display this warning in the future."\n\nClick the checkbox to stop seeing it.\n\nOr, if the message has a twist, like...\n\n"Keep warning me about switching to secure sites."\n\nThen you want to UNCHECK that box.
