SYMPTOMS

To work around this problem, add the Internet Web site to your Trusted Sites list. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Start Internet Explorer.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
  3. On the Security tab, click Trusted Sites, and then click Sites.
  4. In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the http address, and then click Add.

    Note You may have to click to clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box to add an http address.
