Still doesn't work.
I have found various posts on the internet similar to my problem, most of the solutions advise people that they can allow "unknown publishers" in their group settings, however I am running Home Premium which doesn't have the ability to change group settings. Most of the posts say that you just have to do it manually with my version by editing the registry, but no step by step instructions. I did find a fix for this problem in Vista but it seems to be a little different. When I try to view my DVR server IE8 doesn't allow the activeX add on but gives me the option to run it anyway, then windows won't let me install it because it is from an unknown publisher and doesn't give me the option to allow it, its rediculous.
