Prohibited from running ActiveX controls.

[C. Sharp]

I keep getting the following error when creating a message in Outlook 2003:

"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this
page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."

I've gone into the Internet Options - Security tag - internet zone and
changed several of my settings for ActiveX but I continue to get this error.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

The best way to fix it is to not try to include active content in messages.
Another way is to change the web zone Outlook is using for mail.

Could you elaborate a little more on what my settings should be in Outlook
and I don't know how to add active contect to email..unless I did it
unknowingly. Thanks!

What mail editor are you using?

What mail editor are you using?

I'm using Word 2003 as my email editor in Outlook 2003. Is that what you
mean? How do I change the settings for that? Thanks in advance.

Yes, that';s what I meant.

How do I change the settings for that?

How to change Outlook to stop using Word as the editor or how to change Word
so as to not include active content? The former is in Outlook on
Tools>Options>Mail Format. If you mean the latter, and you have not
included active content as far as you know, try deleting Normal.dot (in
%AppData%\Microsoft\Templates) and letting Word recreate it.

I am also getting this message but when I go to Outlook 2003 and click on
"new" to write a new message, that's when it comes up. This just started
happening suddenly. I've had this program for years and never received this
message. If there is something in my security that needs to be disabled or
enabled can you give me the exact place I should go to correct the problem.

Are you using Word or the Outlook editor to compose?
