Default Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page

Hi, I get this message when clicking on some emails especially from ebay, have tried the following:
Quote:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. From the top menu, click "Tools > Internet Options".
3. Click the "Security" tab.
4. Click the "Custom level" button.
5. Under "Reset Custom Settings", select "Medium" from the drop-down menu.
6. Click the "Reset" button.
7. When asked to confirm, click "Yes".
8. Click "OK".

Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones \ 0
In the right-pane, double-click the value 1200 and set it's value to 0
1200 corresponds to Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins setting
Repeat the same in this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones \ 0
Close Registry Editor and restart Windows. Now, open Help and Support Center. The restrictions message should no longer be displayed. Note that some third-party security programs enable this restriction as a measure to protect the system from attacks.
Neither of these have cured the problem, and the latter was already set to 0.
Am running zone alarm but have never touched the settings, this just started happening!
Any advise welcome.
