David, I went to the site and tried to find the four things it suggested but the only one I could find in my explorer 5 was the Internet Zone from normal to more increased security. I couldn't find anything that said ActiveX controls or scripting. Could you help? Also how can we pass it on in our e-mails? As you can guess, I'm not a computer whiz. Thanks.
