Uh, wrong newsgroup. But anyways, it's only an internet explorer security
alert. It's warning you that the web page is trying to do something that
your internet security won't allow. This is a good thing.
I think you should go into your control panel > internet properties >
security. There are four zones there. First, selecting each one, select
default level. Then, make sure Internet is at Medium (2nd from top), local
network / LAN is set to medium, trusted sites is set to medium, and
restricted sites is set to the highest setting (high).
