Hi
I have tried all possible things like go to ->Tools->Security options and select proper Webzone for all 4 options. It didn’t worked. I have also go to Site tab and defined my trusted site but all gone in vain.
I have checked option in Tool -> Advanced tab -> Security option but all time a popup prompt install Digital certficate. After intall it gives error of Runtime js exception that it could not support Digital Certificate features.
Now, what could i do next ???

In IE7, add the site to the trusted list, then click Custom, and change “Download unsigned ActiveX controls” from Disabled to Enabled or Prompt.

Even putting site into Trusted Zones and reducing security level to low still doesn’t work. But the strange thing is Google Chrome has no problems at all. Instant load of page and data requested.
Although warning talks about Windows security it must be something in IE that is cauing the block because Chrome works.

I figured this out.

Don’t do this unless you are absolutely sure this is a Trusted Site

Add the page (preferably an internal IP address) into your Trusted Sites.
Tools/Internet Options/Security/Trusted Sites/Sites
Add the web site. You may have to un-check
Request server verification (https:)

Then go back to the Security page, Make sure the Trusted Zone is still selected
At the bottom in the section
Security Level for this zone
Move the Bar to Low

This will allow you to install the software, but will give you warning prompts.

After the install you can Restore the Security settings back to Default Level

I take no responsibility if this screws up your machine.
I just know it worked for me

Does’nt work for me either. Windows is blocking the active-x installation.

Worked great for me – thanks!

And yes, windows should not protect us from ourselves, but concentrate on protecting their software from others….

doesn’t work, I still get the “Windows has blocked this software because it cannot verify the publisher” message
clearly it’s not possible to get past these ridiculous fascist “security” settings
if only windows was this good at solving REAL security issues as opposed to blocking us from doing day to day tasks

so many times i stand behind ms when others gripe but stuff like this is ridiculous. I really get closer and closer to linux on a regular.
