IE Users Loading Errors The release of Windows XP service pack 2 has created a security issue. It means that html pages opened locally may not allow the javascript to execute. The quizzes require that javascript can be executed. The fix is to change the IE browser setting via the menu. Open IE and select Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - Security Tick the box in the Security section 'Allow active content to run in files on My Computer'. Close the browser and restart |
