Blocks Searches / Restricted Content
Jan 1, 2007
i have a problem with windows whenever i try to search a folder. i type in what i'm looking for but when i hit enter the page shows the standard "page cannot be found". at the top it says that interent explorer has restricted content that could access my computer. this is obviously a load of crap because all i'm trying to do is use the search function. it's not just when i try to search that it happens, it also happens when i try to get to "my network places" using the locations found at the side of the screen when i'm in my computer.

On both my desktop and my laptop running WindowsXP SP2 I use a simple, homemade start page with links to sites I visit almost daily. Frequently, when I open this page, I will get this message on my desktop but not my laptop:"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer."Clicking for options, I get:"Are you sure you want to let this file run active content?"This is ridiculous, as there is no such "active content" on the page. Obviously, it has something to do with IE security settings.

Do you have any clue why only some of my programs can access the internet? I do not use a firewall, nor a router.I use Windows XP Home Edition. However, for some reason, Windows (or something) just BLOCKS most of my programs. I have tried many things, and still, nothing has worked.

I have XP Firewall turned off by Group policy, yet it still pops up and me about blocking certain programs. Mainly I see it on DPMS.EXE right after installing Novell. I go to control panel and check the firewall and it says it is turned off by GPO.

I bought a computer that has SP2 already installed so I can't get rid of it. It blocks all the pop-ups I need to get to and makes my computer slower.I hate SP2.

i seem can't find the answer to. When browsing the internet usually in a website when i go to click on something on the site (IE espn.com clicking on NFL News)I am brought to a Yahoo Search page. It started about 2 weeks ago and first the search page brought back results for UNDETERMINED, then a couple days ago it brought back results for BLLOCKEDDEFFERED. Now it is bringing back results for UNDETERMINED again. Nothing to my knowledge has been changed on the computer in terms of programs.

The hardware wizard in XP searches for vid_04e6 pid_80002000 at every start. I've heard that those with an HP 3200c scanner can have this problem. I downloaded the driver for it but still get the message. Any way to get rid of it? I've tried disabling and removing the device, but it comes back at bootup.

I'm considering purchasing a laptop but I want to know if it's possible to disable almost everything on the laptop (including internet access and such, almost EVERYTHING) from a start time to a finish time certain days of the week. For example, I want to only be able to access Microsoft Office utilities from 9-5 on Monday Wednesday and Friday. But on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday I don't want any restricted access. It would be great if there was a password that could access these features during the time periods too. I'd prefer to do this on XP but if say it's only available on Vista or something that's ok too. I just want some input on the subject.

I have a Windows Installer splash screen that pops up upon a reboot and which flickers thereafter. It doesn't install anything, and I can't kill it by canceling it while it appears. It blocks incoming emails, (they hang up at 50% downloading) although sometimes when I reboot the problem doesn't start again for an hour or so. It's sporadic, but it never goes completely away. I thought I had found the solution on this thread here: , but installing the downloads didn't solve the problem. I have no idea what Windows Installer is trying to install. To make things more interesting, Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel only shows very recent software. And System Restore fails for anything more than about a week ago, when the problem first manifested itself. I've purchased and downloaded RegCure, Fix-it Utilities 8 Professional, and CounterSpy. Ive run AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Spyware Blaster. While my registry is clean, no malware found, and my computer is running faster, all these were of no help in getting rid of this popup.
When I reboot, which I often have to do out of the Windows Task Manager because the popup is flickering too fast to do it out of the Start Menu, I usually get an error message saying that ccApp can't be closed. It reboots anyway, and sometimes I get back into a reasonably manageable system, and sometimes I don't.It don't know if the problem is related to Norton 360, but the Icon in the systray blinks when the installer is really going ballistic. I would try to uninstall and reinstall Norton, but it's not listed in my Add/Remove Programs list anymore, along with most of my other programs.

I'm a Mac User but bought a golf sky caddy (uses GPS to find your distances on a golf course) which required connecting the device via USB to the computer, loading a PC based driver and then having the website "communicate" with the device to download information.I successfully loaded the driver but to an error message from IE 6 says to the effect: "there is a security issue here and we're not going to let you access that web site". That dialogue box says "click here" for options around this. But that function does not work.

I want to make Windows XP Pro SP2 accessible only at specific hours, for example only between 10:00h - 12:00h every day, and the rest of the day the workstation to be inaccesible (unable to login, or unable to boot, or whatever, no matter). I checked out Local Security Policy, but as far as I've understand, the related settings there are about networking only. Anyone here knows such a restrictive software, or the specific settings in Windows' own security policy, if any, or a registry tweak, or whatever?

Got an XP machine that's using the guest account with restricted permissions. I can't log in in safemode as it restarts all the time before the loggon screen. I can't set it to not automatically restart because the guest account doesn't have permission. Putting the HDD in another machine we can see the Admin and another account, but they don't show up on the logon screen in normal mode. I know there is a way to logon the administrator account from the normal mode logon screen as i've done it before.

I just looked at internet options - security - restricted sites and found a bunch in there. I had none about a month ago and never had any before. Some sound bad but that's irrelevant, my question is how did they get there? Is this some connection to MS's new security downloads?

eMachines PC, less than one year old, running XP Home (ugh)While in the "Owner" administrator account, I attempted to change the user rights for my daughter from "Restricted" to "Standard user". I used the "control userpasswords2" screen rather than the standard User Accounts control panel provided with XP Home.I immediately received an error message, stating something like "this account type cannot be found" or "this account type is not supported".No big deal that, but what occurred after that stymies me. My daughter's account is no longer visible in either of the account management control panels, and is also no longer visible in the Welcome Screen. All of her folders still exist.I attempted to re-add the account, but the system (perhaps wisely) prevents me from doing that, stating that the account still exists. Using the XP Home User Accounts control panel, I turned off the Welcome Screen; user login now uses the oldskool screen within which you have to enter the user account name in one field and the password in the other. My daughter is able to login that way.

I am trying to install HP Image Zone Plus but I keep getting a yellow bar with the writing "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click for options..." When I click there is the statement "Allow blocked content" - when I click on this, nothing happens - the message just reappears. How can I correct this problem so I can load my program? I don't know where to start.

Father wants (mysite.com) blocked for anyone that uses computer. They use IE and AOL. I can use parent controls for AOL but not sure how to use Restricted Sites on IE When I start to type (my site) several URL will show up. Do I use all URL or do I just type (www.mysite.com). This is a 12yr. old girl and she forgot all her password (LOL) so when I try it using Fathers side on IE it says restricted in bottom right corner but it will go to log in screen for the site. She is restricted from computer till she turns 18 if I don't get it resolved.

I'm trying to set a mandatory wallpaper for a user account with many group
policy restrictions. Although I have enabled both "active desktop wallpaper"
and "enable active desktop" the wallpaper doesn't appear. I have successfully set the wallpaper for another user with fewer restrictions. The restricted account does have file rights to the wallpaper file. One of the
group policy settings must be causing a conflict but which one?

I've seen similar recent threads opened detailing similar problems you've looked into. My control panel icon has vanished from my start menu, the link to it in My Computer has gone too and when I try to access it via the Run function using control.exe I am greeted with the message of "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer, please contact your administrator".I'm sure this is a malware problem I've picked up off the web but I've got no idea of how to fix the problem. Your help would be very gratefully received.

I deleted my Content.IES folder a long time ago (like a year ago) and I can't get it back. Will somebody please tell me how to get it back cause without it I can't use Java stuff. Please don't tell me I have to reformat cause I can't do that. I have no disks to do so. I tried going to Temporary Internet Files and creating a folder but it wont let me, nor will it let me move a folder in it.
