| | Security problem Hi, When I click on an advert in Firefox for a trusted website, I am greeted with the popup box saying "The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator". This is also happening on programs which open other programs - all of which I give full permission to do. I never had this problem on XP and do not know how to remove this restriction on Vista. I am the only user on this computer and hold the administrator account. Can anyone please help me remove this annoying restriction. Nick |

I don't have anything happen like that with my Vista box and I've not seen that behavior on clients' machines either. Perhaps you've got something like McAfee Site Advisor or the like? Or a similar option enabled in your antivirus program? Check. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |
