Web client ActiveX security setting problem

[FlashGordo]

Hi... I'm having a small problem with the Symposium Web Client and I was hoping someone could help me out.

Everything works fine when I set the security setting in Internet Explorer "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" to "Enable". The problem is, if I set that setting to "Prompt", and then click Yes whenever Explorer prompts whether to allow ActiveX interaction on a given page, basically the client hangs. If I wait long enough, either nothing happens or I get this error message:

"A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive."

Does anyone know why this is? Shouldn't there be no difference whether I select "Enable" for the ActiveX setting, or select "Prompt" and then click Yes whenever the IE prompt pops up? Is this a bug in the web client?

It's company policy to have this setting at "Prompt" so that's why it's a problem. I'm running Symposium Web Client 4.5 - SU 05, Build: 04.05.005.02. If someone can shed light on this issue, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,
Gordo

SWC must have the settings set by Nortel Doc's. On my server here, if a prompt is listed--you will not get to the web client page; it has to be enabled. I think it was the first 3 controls as ENABLED which I found worked.

you have to leave it on enable if you want to use SWC...I have several site that had the same security standard and Nortel simply said, use your standard and not SWC or use SWC. The SWC is a trusted site and those IE setting are SWC not everything else. You can have different security setting for internal, external, private....etc
