I have MSDN disc 3097.1

I have SQL Server 2005 set up on my domain controller.

I want to install the Management Studio from my MSDN disc on a workstation
running XP SP2.

When I get to the /ENGLISH/SQL2005/DEVELOPER/default.htm# page and click on
x86 based operating systems, nothing happens. Before that I get alot of
messages about Active Content and a message saying "An ActiveX control on
this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you
want to allow the interactuion?" to which I gullibly reply Yes. This IE page
continues to sit there and the only thing that produces any result is the
Exit link.

Can someone please point out the error of my ways?

Thanks in advance,
Chris Hough

It must be something about your Internet Explorer settings. You should check
them out for an ActiveX setting.

Go to Internet Options and then click on the Security tab. There is a Custom
level... button there. Check your settings related to ActiveX
