Right ok, i have uninstalled Norton - still the same problem.
I have tried the security settings - still the same issue.
I have also disable firewall temporarily.
Any ideas?

@Glenny
ActiveX is a bit like Java or Flash, it's M$'s own plug-in technology that gives web pages extra functionality. The difference is, ActiveX can directly access various parts of your PC for example the file system or the registry, or even things that are plugged in to your PC. So you do have to be careful about which ActiveX objects you allow onto your PC. Your sister is half right!
@PK
Something is definately preventing certain content being downloaded to your PC. The ActiveX settings are located in the same menu that I directed you to earlier, tools - internet options - security. You have to click the custom level button and look down the list to see what is and isn't enabled / blocked.
It could also be a trusted zone issue, which again is located in tools - internet options - security. There's also the privacy tab next to security, it might be worth having a look at those options too.
Which firewall are you using?

Played with the active x settings and still no joy...
this is one example of the problem i am having.
When i goto Nikefootball.com, i get this message:
and then it takes me here where it installs ok.
But when i retry nikefootball, it does the same.
Any ideas?

Are you using a router by any chance?
Or is it a direct connection to the net?
You see, I have seen Routers block these things..

Is there a way you can connect directly to the net, bypassing the router? I am not that an expert with this but I think this could be one of the causes..
