It might be helpful to set the options in Internet Explorer to allow running active content when that content comes from CDs or files on your local computer (My Computer). Follow these steps:
- In Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet options.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Scroll down to the Security section.
- Select the Allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer check box and the Allow active content to run in files on My Computer check box.
- Choose OK to save these settings.
Lastly, although pop-ups generated from local content are not blocked by pop-up blockers, you might have to disable your pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer.
- Click Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Turn Off Pop-up Blocker.
- You might also have to disable any third-party blockers that you have installed.
