When you try to download a program (.exe) or zip (.zip) file, Internet Explorer may display a blank Web page with an ActiveX icon in the upper- right corner. If you click the ActiveX icon, you may receive the following error message: <br>
<br>
Error Locating Object Handler<br>
There is no viewer available for the type of object you are trying to to open. The following information is available about this object: <br>
Address of Object: &lt;Web address of the file&gt;<br>
Content Type: &lt;type of file&gt;<br>
Possible location of viewer: Microsoft ActiveX Gallery <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Do you want to go to this location to download a viewer for this type<br>
of object ? <br>
