    A Windows Update might have changed some browser settings. It might
    have disabled some ActiveX settings within the Security area.

    Open Internet Properties, Security tab, click Custom Level, and look
    through the ActiveX control settings. Don't allow unsigned controls,
    but allow signed ones to run without prompting.

    Look through these settings too:

    It's also possible that some software, such as a firewall, popup stopper
    or ad blocker is preventing the controls from running.
