I lack allot of knowledge of computers but read thing here then at times. (trail by error). I do not ever go into it and try to make things better but ticking things. Leave things alone I do not understand. I have an account with myspace.com. A couple of weeks ago when I log on and go to someones page a pop up comes up saying. Your security setting do not allow websites to use activex installed on your computer. This page may not display correctly. As I said I had never changed anything and this just started. Could someone explain just what I need to correct this. Have only 1 laptop so not on any network. Tried using search at top of page but honestly can't understant some of it. Thank you all for your help.

If the site is random then you DO NOT WANT the active x on your computer. The computer is doing its job to block unwanted active-x. Do not change this.
