Windows 7: when i open my Skype extras a message appears

when i open my Skype extras (to play a game) a message appears:



/One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:
1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or
2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
As a result, the page might not be display correctly.\

could you help me???

Go to IE Tools\Internet Options\Security

Click on The Internet Icon
Click the custom level button
Look for "Download Unsigned ActiveX controls" select prompt
Click OK answer Yes
Click apply, click OK.

Just remember there can be hidden dangers in allowing unsigned ActiveX controls to load into your system. (malware)

Yeah, that's pretty dangerous allowing unsigned active X controls for all web pages.

A better way would be to add the website that skype is trying to load into your "trusted sites" list and then allow unsigned active X controls to be loaded in the "Trusted Zone" rather than the normal internet zone.

The trick is you need to figure out what URL Skype is using for the "extras"...

sorry, but it was already set promt

i can't fix it again with "gadget black error" you sent me. And one thing: when i open my Skype extras (to play a game) a message appears:

/One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:
1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or
2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
As a result, the page might not be display correctly.\

And one thing:
when i update opera, it closes. then i open it, but it's the old version again.

Please, help!!!

hrachya, you are going to have to settle down, and concentrate on what you are doing!

By my count you have posted four problems across two threads with your machine.
This thread: when i open my Skype extras a message appears that I'm posting in now has a problem with Skype, and I had to search for what you meant by:

Which is in this thread. The default gadgets have turned invisible and black

This thread has gadget, program access, firefox 4 beta 7, and Opera problems.

You pick the thread you want to concentrate on, and I'll help there.

For right now, your best course of action would be to stop fooling around with all the beta's, gadget's, and an Opera Version??? that is known to cause installation problems.

Un-install all the Bling, get back to basics, and when you have a stable system again, then start adding programs slowly, one at a time, and make sure they are stable before you add another!

What you should do.....

• Un-install all the Bling, get back to the basic OS, and stay away from CCleaner, un-install it too!

• Fill out your SystemSpecs. Use Speccy or Belarc to help you.

• Run an anti-malware like mbam free or superantispyware free.

• Make sure whatever anti-virius-malware program you have is up-to- date.

• If you have them, run a System Restore Point from a month ago before all this started:

• Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System, then click on System protection. At the top you will see instructions to start a system restore.

• Run your Windows Update, and check for any missing updates.

• Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker See option two on how to post the results, and post them!

I am posting in both threads so everyone will know where we stand.
