I emptied the temporary cache and checked the security settings (was on
medium-high) as you suggested. First I tried to figure out how to download
Active X control, but I just got routed back to the site
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HP010349411033.aspx (the help and
how-to tab for activeX). Then I tried to download a clip art drawing. The
webpage automatically switched to the activeX control webpage ( I think the
actual download page for activeX, but it disappeared quickly). Then Again, I
got the message Internet Explorer is shutting down, followed by Internet
explorer is restarting. Finally, a little warning came up on the lower right
hand corner of the screen saying, "to protect your computer, data execution
protection is shutting down. After that I'm not sure if I changed anything
else. I just kept trying to figure out how to get the ActiveX download. I may
have decreased the security to medium, following the instructions in the
how-to tab: in fact, I made sure I did everything instructed in that tab.
Anyway, I tried to download another clip, and it worked!! However, then I
tried to download 2 clips and it initially said it would take a couple
minutes on 56k, but then changed to 45 minutes. I canceled that. Now I'm not
sure if it is all working correctly or not. I've had trouble with that data
execution protection shutting internet explorer down before trying to do a
chat on our public library website. Is there anything more I can do to
prevent it from doing that again?

Post by Mary SauerDid you empty the temporary cache? In Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet
Options, Delete, Delete files.
What are your security settings? The default is Medium-high. When you are
offered the ActiveX control, do you get a message why you cannot download it?

Post by MaryAnnI tried to download the activeX control, but it said it could not. I'm not
even sure what ActiveX control means. I set the site as a trusted site
according to the instructions and still internet explorer 7 shuts down when
attempting to download clip art. I am using Microsoft Office 2003. I am not
too computer savvy, so please give step wise feedback.
Thanks--
