Since installing Service Pack 2 for my WinXP Pro, any change I make to
my Web browser security settings gets reset back to "Medium."

For example, I want to view films on atomfilms.com. It tries to
install a codec which I personally trust, but I get a message:

"Windows has blocked this software because it can't verify the
publisher."

And that's it. No option to go ahead and accept it myself. I trust it,
I know what it's for, who it's from, and how it's used, but Windows
won't let me let it go through.

I tried to turn off Firewall, but of course that changed nothing as
it's a browser security issue. And like I said, I try to lower my
browser security options and it warns me that the best setting is
"Medium" and auto resets it to Medium without giving me the ability to
override it.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Liam
