Controls on This Page...

and...

This happens if the Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins setting is disabled
for the My Computer Zone. Follow these steps to disable the restriction.

Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT

In the right-pane, double-click the value 1200 and change it's value to 0
(if it has a different value than 0)

with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Jan :)
