computer nerds help me out

Recommended Posts

It's funny I get all my PC help from DZ.com bonfire forum these days... :S But I can't find this anywhere else.

Just installed XP SP2. Am getting "security warnings" whenever I either d/l an exe (using IE) or try to run an exe. I disabled everything I could find in the security center, in my browser settings, and did a million websearches but am stumped.

Little help? B|

Uncheck the box in the lower left corner, the warnings will go away quickly after that. ;)

Wrong, that is not working, and I definitely tried it before. The note says "always ask before opening this file". If I uncheck that box, I can run that specific exe in the future without a warning. Any other exes I still get warnings.

The SP2 package includes security features for your protection. However, you could do away with that warning notice by down-grading your security level settings. I just can't remember exactly where the controls are right now.

I have mine set at the highest possible level that still allows me to log on to DZ.com since that involves a cookie or java-script or something, I forget exactly....

maybe this ... the shotgun approach ... Control panel, Security Center then turn stuff off like firewall, then turn off virus checking ... but that's not my recommendation. I don't have one, I run norton internet security.

You can have it good, fast, or cheap: pick two.

OK, I like that warning, but IIRC, this is how to change it....

Click "Tools" menu on top of IE.
Click "Security" tab.
Click "Custom Level."
Scroll down to "Launch Programs in an I-Frame" (or something like that, and change from "prompt" to "enable."

Like I sid, IIRC that should do the trick. You may need to close all IE windows and start IE back up fresh.

IMO, I'd leave it alone though...
