Hello,
I am suddenly not able to open picture attachments and receive a
message,"your current security settings prohibit active x controls. you have
blocked a publisher of one of the controls. How do I fix this problem? Is it
under security options? Any help given will be appreciated.

Click Tools>Options and then click the Security tab. If there is a tick in
the box next to the 'do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that
could potentially be virus' then remove the tick. Just make sure that you
don't save or open any attachments from people you don't know.

Go to Tools, Options, Security, and select the Internet zone rather than
the restricted sites zone.
