Skip, to see what security options you have active, either in control panel/Internet options or under the IE tab Tools-Internet options go to the security tab-custom level. That shows you how your security options are currently set. There are a number of Active X things.
I have disabled "Download unsigned activeX controls", "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as save". I also only "Run ActiveX controls and plugins" which are "Administrator approved". In addition, I don't allow "Paste operations via script" and I disabled "Scripting of Java Applets". You do need admin rights to your PC to see these. One or several of these give me a pop-up window for every ETR screen that tells me "Your current security settings prohibit execution of ActiveX controls. Some content may not display correctly". I am used to that warning, as it usually occurs for advertising banners and does not affect the display. But lately and now also for servicelink IE terminates, forcing me to re-login. I have to allow all of these unsafe settings in order to display the ETRs and make updates to them. (Which also makes the screen content change at a disturbing rate for the ads - terrible when things are moving back and forth!) The appearance of the ETR pages has not changed at all, as far as I can see. Which makes me think that *something* is spying on me and every ETR user. (No, I am not paranoid.:-) ) We had changes (a 'reboot' according to the news pages) on April 19th. This is what the event viewer tells me for this thing: The description for Event ID ( 1001 ) in Source ( Microsoft Internet Explorer ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: 242546696. and The description for Event ID ( 1000 ) in Source ( Microsoft Internet Explorer ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: iexplore.exe; 6.0.2800.1106; unknown; 0.0.0.0; 560f7400. which translates to 'application failure iexplorer at offset 560f700'. I guess this restart window is a more modern form of Dr.Watson. Yes, I complained to Servicelink/IBM, but they tend to ignore me :-( especially as I cannot get to those pages!
