One way is to put the relevant HP site into your list of URLs in the
Trusted Zone (IE, Tools, Options, Security, Trusted Zone).

ActiveX controls can be lethal. I would strongly advise against
allowing *all* web sites to drop arbitrary ActiveX controls on your
PC. You may well wish you could go back to a working system with
annoying warnings, after being nailed by commercial malware and
sometimesworse, delivered through ActiveX intrusions.
