SYMPTOMS
When you try to log on to a meeting in Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005, you receive an error message that resembles the following error message:

Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:  Log on to the meeting by using the browser-based meeting console. To do this, follow these steps:  Click OK in the error message that you received. Click Browser-Based Meeting Console, and then log on to the meeting.

Note Not all features are available to meeting presenters in the browser-based meeting console. If you still receive the error message that is mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section, go to step 2.  Enable ActiveX controls in Windows Internet Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:  Start Internet Explorer.</li> On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.</li> Click the Security tab, and then click Internet in the Select a zone to view or change security settings area.</li> Click Custom level in the Security level for this zone area.</li> In the Settings list, set the following options under ActiveX controls and plug-ins: <ul> Under Download signed ActiveX controls, make sure that the Prompt option is selected.</li> Under Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins, click Enable or Prompt.</li> Under Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting, click Enable or Prompt.</li> Click OK, click Yes, and then click OK.</li></ul> </li> Close all Internet Explorer windows, and then log on to the meeting.</li> Click Yes when you receive the security messages.</li></ol> </li></ol>

If you still receive the error message that is mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section, the problem is likely caused by something in the local area network that blocks ActiveX controls. The most common blocking agents are firewalls and proxy servers. Ask the IT department either to remove the block for ActiveX controls or to add &quot;*.placeware.com&quot; to the list of trusted domains in the firewall settings or in the proxy server settings.
