Customers may prevent the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control from running in Internet Explorer, either manually using the instructions in the Workaround section or automatically using the solution found in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 972890. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972890) By preventing the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control from running in Internet Explorer, there is no impact to application compatibility.

Easy answer: Don't use Internet Explorer.

If I remember correctly, this warning does NOT pertain to Vista, only XP, Server 2003/2008 and Win 2000.

Brenda, when I read this I called my techie (hubby) to ask

what if anything I should do, and he said the same thing, "Don't worry about it, this is why we switched you to Firefox."

Oh, okay!

Thanks for the info anyway.
