This "Click to run an Active X on this webpage" must be defeated. Bleeder's suggestion of a patch yielded an error message that I had the "wrong version of Explorer" -- incompatible with the patch. As soon as the "Click to run" box pops up, any action on my part bumps me OFF the internet. Could someone please advise me? I have a three-year old HP computer with Windows XP and the updates. This difficulty began several months ago when I tried to access a newspaper web-site, The Desert Sun, in Palm Springs, CA. It now shows up on many other websites, but not all. Thanks for any help you might offer.
