Since reading your post this morning, I went to look at my ETRs. Unless I
turned on A-X some time ago, I didn't see any change today. How would I
know if I had already turned it on in the past? Also I don't see your
symptoms like having to close a window.

Apparently after the last change to Servicelink IBM decided to employ
ActiveX controls when showing me my open ETRs. And these are ActiveX
controls that are unsafe, according to the security options. I am NOT free
in my choice of browser (IE6) nor am I free in the servicelevel of that
browser, I have to use what the corporation gives me. And what I got with
an IBM-enforced ActiveX control is a browser that always closes itself and
asks me if I want to restart it or send a report of the error to whomever,
effectively preventing me from seeing my ETRs.

Is anyone else who is security conscious and had set IE options accordingly
experiencing the same problem? (Or even recognising that silently active
content is executing on your computer?) The pages do NOT look changed.
