Hi euriskofiles,The issue may occur if the security settings for the Local Machine zone are configured to prevent ActiveX content from running.Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756 Steps to follow: a) Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.b) Expand the following registry subkey:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0c) In the right pane, right-click 1200, and then click Modify.d) In the Value data box, type either 1 or 0 to overwrite the existing value of 3. Then, click OK.Note If you type 1 in the Value data box, you will receive the following prompt when you start Microsoft Project:Do you want to allow software such as ActiveX controls and plug-ins to run?Additionally, you will receive this prompt at other times when you use Microsoft Project. If you do not want to receive this prompt, type 0 in the Value data box.The values 0, 1, and 3 are associated with the following behavior:o 0 = Enabled, or the action is permittedo 1 = Prompto 3 = Disabled, or the action is not permittede) Quit Registry Editor.See if this helps.Regards,Shinmila H - Microsoft Support Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
