Active Controlx
Every time I start Windows 98, I get the message: "AN ACTIVE CONTROLX ON THIS PAGE IS NOT SAFE. YOUR CURRENT SECURITY SETTINGS PROHIBIT RUNNING UNSAFE CONTROLS ON THIS PAGE. AS A RESULT,THIS PAGE MAY NOT DISPLAY AS INTENDED.
I reset the settings (they are in Medium)but the message is still the same. There are some others pages I can not access also, but most of them are OK. Any suggestions about how to solve this problem?

Are you running IE 4 or IE 5. When exactly does the message pop up? Is it while browsing a web page? And just out of curiousity, do you have active desktop enabled?
