Have you published the web to a different computer and tried viewing from
your computer?

'... the box that says "Allow Active content to run in files on my
computer"' is referring to files that are physically located on "my
computer" - it does not refer to files physically located on a different
computer (AKA the server), so a visitor to your website will not notice any
problems (unless you are using Active X or the like).
