Hi,

Tools>Internet Options, Security tab, click the "Reset all zones to default"

For the best surfing experience with optimized security you should accept
the Default security zone settings. (always!)

Tweaking your security zone settings in the hope of getting a web page to
work correctly will leave your browser vulnerable when you visit other sites
that are in the same security zone.

If the site loads in the Internet security zone, but does not work as
expected (viz. You get a yellow information bar "Active X has been blocked
because.....") it is because the site has been incorrectly crafted for IE's
default security zone settings.

It is up to the web site designers to craft their sites to IE's default
security zone settings. If you really TRUST the web site then you can add it
to your Trusted Sites Zone where the default security level is lowered.

It is usual to have only your banking and email or https web sites in your
Trusted Sites zone.

Computers on corporate networks may have customized security zone settings.
Consult your network administrators if this is the case (they can stop users
from changing their security zone settings from the default and so prevent
the message from appearing)

Regards.
