HOW TO ALLOW ACTIVE CONTENT USING WINDOWS XP SERVICE PACK 2
Under Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer has a few additional security settings that must be changed to allow active content. To change these settings to allow active Hypercosm 3D content to be displayed, follow these steps.
Step 1: Open Internet Explorer's "Internet Options" Dialog Box
Go to the Internet Explorer's main menu bar and select the menu labeled "Tools". Select the bottom option on menu, which is labeled "Internet Options".
Step 2: Click the "Advanced" Tab
At the top of the Internet Options Dialog Box, click the tab which is labeled "Advanced".
Step 3: Enable "Allow Active Content"
If you scroll down to the bottom part of the list of options, you will come across an option labeled "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer". Enable this option by checking the check box to the left of this label. If you want, you can also enable active content to be played directly from CDs by clicking the first option listed called "Allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer".
Step 4: Refresh the Web Page
To allow the changes that you have made to be put into effect, reload the web page by hitting the "Refresh" button at the top of your browser. The browser should now attempt to run the Hypercosm 3D applets.
