Games I have played online will not play I get this message:

"Your security settings have blocked on an untrusted application from running:

The last time I tried to open game a box appeared about allowing game to play there were several boxes that I needed to check to allow the game to play, apparently I checked the wrong box.

I have checked all the areas I know but, have not been able to find the settings for remedy, any help will be appreciated

I'm going to write you need to ask the game's maker or author what needs correction.

Not sure this is what you need, if not let me know. I might add, On this particular site, when i would load on to play I would get a message about it not being a trusted, a box would appear with areas to click on to allow it to play.

Thanks for your interest

Happy Bob, a big thanks to you. I followed the directions and was successful in getting game working. My son said when I first got my computer the only way to learn is to do it. I'm 78 and still learning, in this case you helped learn a little more.

I went to this site using chrome and got a message
by orlbuckeye Feb 13, 2014 9:53PM PST

but when I used IE i didn't get a message. I support a payroll application at work that requires an older version of Java so I've tested some browsers and Chrome and Firefox are less friendly with java then IE. Firefox disables the addon by default and you just have to enable it and Chrome just puts up a message and you have to click to continue.

security settings

Administrators may define a security policy in Active Directory that contains specific security settings for any and all security areas. This is accomplished by defining security settings in a Group Policy object (GPO) that is associated with a domain or an organizational unit (OU). Security settings that are defined for a domain or OU apply to all machines that are contained in that domain or OU.
A security policy may also be established on the local machine. However, local machine policies can only contain security settings for the first two security areas (Account Policies and Local Policies). While all other security areas may be configured on a local machine through the use of various tools, a local security policy may only be established for Account Policies and Local Policies.
When there are conflicts, Security settings that are defined in Active Directory always override any security settings that are defined on the local machine. Security settings for an OU always override security settings defined in any parent OUs or on the domain itself. Thus, when determining the security settings that apply to a specific machine, the order of precedence may be represented as follows, from lowest to highest:
Local security policy
Domain policy
OU policy
...
OU policy (for the OU that the machine is contained in)
