When I lost my audio, I went to troubleshoot, and I can't use it. I got the
message "activeX control on this page is unsafe".

What page? What is your audio adaptor? What version of XP are you using?

Ask the troubleshooting site that you visited (but neglected to mention)
is using an unsigned AX control. Maybe you don't want to go to that
UNIDENTIFIED site anymore.

Sorry. I got the warning when I tried to access troubleshooter. I have Win XP
pro. Please bear with me, as I am only semi pc literate. I don't know how to
find out what audio adapter I have.

I'm sorry I'm not better at this. It's why I'm here asking you. I really DO
want to access the troubleshooter.....that is what I was trying to do when I
got the warning

As per Colins' request, you still haven't identified the troubleshooting
site. What is it?

And your reply (but added to my quoted content):
>> Help Support Center, XP pro-fix a problem-games,sound, video
>> problems-sound trouble shooter.

Do NOT quote (use prefix indentation character) when adding your reply.
On first scan of your "reply", there was no reply. You added you
reply to *my* message rather than show it as your own.



My guess is that you need to reduce local (My Computer) security for AX
controls for local web pages. Go into Internet Options -> Advanced,
scroll down to the Security section, and enable the "Allow active
content to run files on My Computer".
