Can not run ActiveX

I can not run any activeX items from IE.

For example when I go to http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm and click on "Scan your PC now" and a pop-up window appears
In the pop-up I click on Free Online Scan.
A window appears asking "Do you want to install this software" and I click on "Install"
The pop-up window now says I should see a yellow where I can select "Install ActivX Content" however the yellow bar does not appear and the scan does not start.
This happens on any page where I need t run activeX content.

This problem started a week or so after updating my system to SP2 and IE 7.
Win XP sp2
IE 7.0.5730.11

Re: Can not run ActiveX

Hi JackNunn, welcome to TSF..

it may be an idea to check IEs settings:

- Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab -> Custom level -> Scroll down to ActiveX controls and plugin sub-section

Plus, do you have any security software (firewall/anti-virus etc) which may be blocking the controls?

Re: Can not run ActiveX

Wow, I didn’t expect a response this quick. Should have included this in the initial post.

No firewall software and Windows Firewall is off
I do have Norton Anti-virus and have tried disabling it but get the same result.
The AcriveX settings under Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab -> Custom level -> ActiveX controls and plug-ins are shown below

ActiveX controls and plug-ins
Allow previously unused ActiveX controls to run without promopt - disable
Allow scriptlets - disable
Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls - Enable
Binary and script behaviors - Enable
Display video and animation on a webpage that does not use external media player - disable
Download signed ActiveX controls - prompt
Download unsigned ActriveX controls - disable
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting -disable
Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins - Enable
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting - enable
