Owbist is right...always have them ask you .... I believe the settings are in Tools -> Internet oOptions on your browser bar. If you want to see a nice flash site visit Orsinal. It is one of the Sites to Delight from a recommendation from Geek Girl. The games are fun. Every square is a different game. Some games don't have "start here" on their large game square. In those cases...just click on the big square and your short little well designed flash game will begin. It is amazing what our computers can do and what we can learn to do with them. marf Here is a link that might be useful: Orsinal....Simply Fun

You would need to install the active x program for each of those, or any such site. These are small programs specific to the particular web site. Popcap has some very good games if you like those kind of things and they do not throw you out after an hour of usage. My wife is a frequent visitor to Popcap You might find you would enjoy RealArcade, they do throw you out after an hour on each game but it seems there are a huge number of them to choose amongst so you can stay for many hours.

It just means that there are 9 invalid active x control paths in your registry that point to nowhere. Probably next time you use Internet Explorer they are added again since IE uses Active X. No big deal, any registry cleaner will find invalid active x paths everytime you clean the registry.

You might try going to the page where you get the active X issue and then opening IE Tools, Internet Options. Click the 'security' tab and then the 'Safe Sites' icon and putting that page address in the safe sites list. Maybe also drop the slider there down a notch in security if you continue to have a problem. Of just pick up the phone and call HP support. They probably hear this all day long.
