ArchiCAD Help - Internet Explorer startup problems with Windows XP SP2

Written by Gergely Kmethy, 20-October-2004

ArchiCAD Help needs to run active content in Internet Explorer to display properly. With installing Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer's security settings are automatically modified disabling active content by default. Starting ArchiCAD help will prompt a warning message in the Information bar of Internet Explorer:

To view Help, click 'Allow Blocked content...' then 'Yes' in the Security Warning Dialog:

If you want to avoid this warning each time you open ArchiCAD Help, you have to modify your security settings. In Internet explorer 'Tools' menu / 'Internet Options' select the 'advanced' tab, and check the 'Allow active content to run in files on My Computer' option.

Note: Allowing this option will enable all other HTML pages to run active content in Internet Explorer. This could be potentially unsafe for your computer. Please consider carefully before enabling this option permanently !
