Help with ActiveX Control

I'm trying to use a program called Vista Perfect. Its an ActiveX control add-in for IE that allows you to view all of your pictures in a selected directory as a slide show, however when I go to install it, it says that my security settings prohibit the installation of ActiveX controls, or that I am not logged in as the computer admin... What do I do?

Your answer is probably in the Security tab in your Internet Options.

Ive tried by selecting "prompt" for each one related to ActiveX controls, do I have to "enable" all operations related to ActiveX controls instead?

You may have to, just be careful and put the settings back when it's done.

Wouldn't enabling all of those, be a bad idea when it comes to security?

Yes, it's a very bad idea, that's why I said to be careful.

Oh, well if its such a bad idea, then I might as well just look for another program.

I'm only talking about doing it to get it installed, then put everything back the way it was.

In order to use it, wouldnt the settings have to be the same as they were during the install.

Besides, I'm nor sure that I want to open my machine up to such a security hole
