Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: CH Control Manager breakthrough..." 10-03-02, 02:34z  Greetings Bob: > It's > probably sending me the ActiveX control twice and since this dialup > seldom manages much over about 15K baud in actual transfer rate, it > takes a long time to get a post up. Yes, it's trying to send you the ActiveX control again because it didn't find it on your system from the first attempt. It'll continue to do that until it finds it. > It's not that I don't trust FlightAdventures, or even have a "trusted > forums" thing. I just won't enable ActiveX or Java at all. In IE, there are different "Zone" groupings. Each grouping has its own set of browser rules/settings. Unless you've set your browser for sites otherwise, all sites fall under Internet Zone (bottom right hand corner of the browser will show which you're currently at). Adding a site to the trusted sites zone just means the site listed in that zone will have a new (user selectable) set of rules. If you've been to windows.update or ever clicked the "always trust this site" checkbox when you've downloaded an application, you've added that site to your trusted sites zone. I don't blame you for enabling ActiveX and Java for all sites in your Internet Zone. I don't have mine enabled for the Internet Zone either. However, if you add a site to your trusted sites zone, only those sites listed in the trusted sites zone will have access to Java and ActiveX. Regardless, you still have the ability to accept or deny ActiveX downloads, and no other site that's not on that list will have its security/permissions changed. In other words, all other sites will remain with ActiveX and Java turned off. None of that stuff will change. > Call me old-fashioned, but I cringe at the thought of anyone running anything on > my PC that I'm not aware of. I call that smart. But in this case, if you trust us not to stick something harmful on your system (which you can always uninstall I might add), then there's no risk. Remember, we run the same software on our systems. I wouldn't ask anyone to run something that I don't run myself. > Ah, well. You guys have all been at this so long you hardly have any > trouble with your controllers anymore anyway. 8). Try the OLR. It's much more convenient too. If you've ever used OzWin at CiS, you'll feel right at home. Best!
