I've seen a couple of threads on this issue with opening ActiveX and setting the security options in the browser did not solve the issue.
specifically, this did not work:
1. Open internet explorer, click Tools – Internet Options .
2. Click the Security tab – Custom Level button.
Under ActiveX ensure the following are set to enabled
Run ActiveX and plug-ins – Enabled
Download Signed ActiveX Control – Enabled
Script ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting – Enabled
Set the following to “Prompt ”
Download unsigned ActiveX Control – Prompt
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not mark as safe – Prompt
3. Click OK and Apply and OK. Restart the browser.
Here are the specifics:
machine specs:
Windows 7 pro 32 bit
IE 10 - 10.0.9200.16618
I'm trying to run the following javascript file on my desktop.
The website is an internal address,
var ie = new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application");
ie.Navigate("127.0.0.1");
ie.AddressBar = false;
ie.MenuBar = false;
ie.ToolBar = false;
ie.Visible = true;
The js file keeps popping up in the view downloads and when I try to open it I get the
"The program's publisher couldn't be verified. Are you sure you want to run the program?"
with the option to open which then loops back to the original message.
I've set my internet options down so low the that IE screams about it being unsafe.
How do I get this js file to run?
It works fine for my co-workers on IE8 and IE9 using both 32 bit and 64 bit XP and Win7 OS's so it's probably not related to group policies as we all have the same settings there.
thanks,
Jim
