I recommend you go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced Tab and click the Reset button which disables all add-ons, changed settings, deletes all temporary files, and home pages. Read the notice screen so you can see what will be changed as a result of going back to default. This should help you with the problem since you were able to get to the site once before without any problems.

Your firewall is probably blocking the port used in MS's activeX controls.

If it's a game site you access with Internet Explorer, you can open up your task manager by hitting ctrl+alt+delete, find iexplore.exe, highlight it and click end process.\nIf that doesn't work, try downloading the Firefox browser and using it instead of Internet Explorer. I use Firefox anyway for everything, it works much, much better, has it's own popup and spyware blocking, and it's free.

if it's not an internet explorer window, go to START, RUN..., type in SERVICES.MSC, double click MESSENGER, from startup type choose DISABLED (automatic is default in most windows versions)

Flash is an Active X control. Seems like the Admin has it set so limited users are not allowed "To Run Active X Controls and Plugins."

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.

Since Win98 is EOL (End of Life) the best I can offer you is this,\n\nhttp://activex.microsoft.com/activex/activex/\n\nI would strongly suggest you upgrade to a newer version of Windows.

Do you mean you want to activate Active X Controls?  If so, go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level.\n\nHere you can tweak your settings.  Find the menu called Active X controls and plugins; I choose Enable or Prompt.

Your question is confusing. Clarify it first please. Do you not like the sound when IE6 blocks ActiveX? and you mean you want IE6 to do the same function but without disabling ActiveX?\n\nYou said "without enabling ActiveX". From what I understand, you want to disable that sound and not ActiveX. Simple thing to do.\n\nClick Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds & Audio Devices\n\nOnce Sound & Audio Devices appear, click on Sounds, then scroll down Program events and look for "Information bar" under "Windows Explorer". Click on "Information bar" and select NONE for it under "Sounds". Apply the changes and you are done! :D

ActiveX Control is a Microsoft term used to denote reusable software components that are based on Microsoft COM a.k.a Component Object Model. ActiveX controls provide encapsulated reusable functionality to programs and they are typically but not always visual in nature.\n\nFor example, an ActiveX control might implement spreadsheet functionality similar to Microsoft Excel, which would be visual in nature, but it also might implement functionality to upload or download files from an FTP site, which is not visual in nature unless it incorporates some sort of download progress display or similar.\n\nActiveX controls are not inherently unsafe, especially when used within a development package like Visual Basic. In that context, assuming the author is trusted, they are no less safe than the other programming code the developer who uses the controls may write.\n\nActiveX controls are instead unsafe for users of Internet Explorer who turn on the browser's ability to download and activate ActiveX controls within a web page. The problems occur when a user surfs to a non-trusted web page and that web page contains a malicious ActiveX control. Of course this is a very likely occurence for those who use search engines to locate websites, which means about anyone using the web.

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 .

you must activate Active-X in the browser. click on Tools / Internet Options / Tab Security and click the button Custom Level.\n\nUnder ActiveX controls check the following entries\nDownload signed Active controls: prompt\nDownload unsigned ActiveX controls: disable\nInitialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: disable\nRun ActiveX controls and plug-ins: enable\nScript ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: enable\n\nDownloads\nFile download: enable\nFont download: prompt\n\nSripting:\nActive scripting: enable\nAllow paste operations: enable\nScripting of Java applets: enable\n\ni never had to download Java for playing Yahoo games, all what's needed is already in the OS.
