Thanks Allan,

I'm using IE6 (My current security settings do not allow me to download
IE7). Have disabled activeX and tried putting in google earth to my
trusted
sights but I am told that my trusted sights will only except https:/ as a
prefix and not just http:/, so I have entered google earth with https:/
prefix.
Not sure what an unusual setting in Advanced would be so have tried
different combinations of the advanced setting and also resetting to
defaults
Still having no luck and unfortunately still getting old

Gerald

Over the last few months I have received the above message when trying
to
download files. e.g. today trying to download google earth, and last
week
trying to download a ebook as a pdf file. I'm using XP home and
Internet
Explorer. I have read several fixes for this but so far nothing has
been
succesful. My securtiy settings are set to Custom, Downloads Enabled,
Java
Script Enabled, Active X Enabled, Pop Ups Enabled and have even turned
off
my
Windows Firewall.

Does anyone have any suggestions,
I,m getting old trying to fix this!
Use the Trusted Sites zone to enable the download. For your Internet zone
try resetting the settings to default level; maybe you have changed
something that needs to be enabled. Also check in Advanced settings for
any
unusual settings. For the Internet zone you definitely do not want to
have
ActiveX enabled. By the way, are you talking about IE 6 or 7?


The way to enter "http:" instead of "https:" for Trusted Sites is to uncheck
the box at the bottom of the window. It is the one that says "Require server
verification (https:) for all sites in this zone". Then you can enter
whatever prefix you want. Leave everything at default in advanced settings
unless you understand what the settings do.

Thanks again,
now have google earth as a trusted site, have changed my security settings
back to medium default. Unfortunately still unable to download, and getting
used to looking at my screen with a blank exprssion on my face.
