For example...

I search for movies with Tory Lane. Her picture comes up and an "Active X OK?" box pops up. No matter which choice I make (yes, no, or cancel) the box disappears and a blank white space appears where I should see her picture, a list of movies, and other things.

I see similar blank white screens when I arrive at the price search via ADM.

There are no ActiveX controls used by this website. You most likely have spyware on your computer.

"Do you want to allow software such as Active X controls and plug-ins to run?" is the exact phrase that appears in the box.

This box has always appeared when I do star or DVD searches on your site. The appearance of the box is nothing new to me. The problem I am experiencing of not being able to view the page is new to me.

I will run Norton Anti-Virus to check for spyware and viruses, anyway. Thanks.

What browser are you using?

I wonder if an advertiser's Flash banner might be causing the active x popup? Does it happen on every page all the time or only on the price search pages?

Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp2_gdr.050301-1519IS
Update Versions:;SP2;
Typically, I will see the message whenever I get to the price search page, or when moving back to the forum after leaving it on for the night. It doesn't bother me; I have most of my Active X control security settings set to "Prompt" in my Explorer options.

The inability to see the price pages or star moving listings is a new development.

OK. I just tried a search and was successful. There is a slight display problem at the bottom of the screen but the search star function is now functional.

It looks like the problem is 99% fixed.

My Virus check was clean, by the way.

Spyware won't show up on a virus check. Do a search in this forum for spyware and you'll bring up a few threads on how to check yourself out. Running IE, odds are there's some there.

I took your advice, downloaded Spybot and removed 170 items from my hard drive. This included many tracking cookies, a few dialup thingies, and some obnoxious GAIN adware that I thought I had completely removed years ago.

Thanks.

I am back....

I click on "Blow It Out Your Ass" on the New Releases page and I get the ActiveX/plug-in warning box and then a mostly blank screen.

This looks like the same problem that I had with the Tory Lane search.

I hope that Drew finds my posts helpful.

I wish I could help. We don't use any Active X controls on this site. It is possible that an advertiser's banner uses flash and requires the Flash browser plugin. Other than that I have no idea what's causing the popups for you.

I find it extremely suspect that it's only happening when you search and not on the other pages of the site. Leads me to believe that there is spyware on your computer but since your computer is now 100% clean it must be something else.

The ActiveX/plug-ins warning occurs on most, if not all, pages of this site and has for a long time. I never thought much of it; as far as I know, it is not really a problem.
For example, if I refresh this thread I get the warning box. The page will display correctly (as far as I can tell) regardless of how I respond to the warning: yes, no, or cancel (by choosing the x in the upper right hand corner of the box).

The problem with getting searches to display started in the last week or so. I thought it might be caused by some change that you may have done to the site that had an unanticipated result, at least for some users. I thought that some other people might encounter a similar problem.

Thanks anyway.

Also, do you see banners in the top blue header bar on our site?

The Tory Lane search works now.
Clicking on Blow It Out Your Ass brings up the appropriate price listing; there is still a small issue with the text not wrapping as expected and getting hidden by the yellow frame on the left hand, but it is functional and 90% correct.

If I hit refresh on this page, I still get the ActiveX warning prompt that I described previously. What software do I need to have to avoid getting this message box?

Thanks.

PS I just downloaded the most recent version of Adobe Flash.

You need Firefox.
