Hi, please do this.
1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following registry key, and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ_SCR IPT

3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. In the DWORD Value box, type iexplore.exe, and then press ENTER.

5.  Double-click the iexplore.exe registry entry that you created in step 4.
6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
7. Exit Registry Editor.

thank you so much for trying to help me, but: got up to the feature control, but there is no such thing as FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ(etc) there!!! :O so what do i do now?
