If a Web site you are trying to access is not appearing properly, and you see several dialog boxes pop up appear asking you to approve certain browser actions on your display as IE attempts to load the sites, there is a chance that IE’s Security Settings are set too high. As a result this can cause IE not to load the Java and ActiveX controls necessary for interactive Web sites (such as retail sites with virtual shopping carts and sites with interactive games) to function correctly.

Adjust IE’s Security Settings and you’ll likely be able to view the site as it was originally designed as well as eliminate the dialog boxes that pop up when the site loads. To adjust the Security settings, open the Tools menu and click Internet Options.

Select the Privacy tab to view IE’s current security settings. If the slider bar is set to Medium High, High, or Block All Cookies, try using a lower level, such as Medium. (Medium is the lowest level of security you should choose to maintain a good balance between security and easy operability.) Slide the bar to the appropriate level and click OK. If you are using a company computer, consult your Web administrator before making any changes to your system’s security settings.
