Persistent error in DWF Viewer/Composer

I receive the error "This page has an unspecified potential security flaw. Would you like to continue?" every time a DWF is opened, at every right-click, and at every menu click. Also, it very annoyingly does not remember that "yes" was clicked, AND it shows the error for each sub-menu within dropdown's. Any ideas on this one? I have set IE security as low as it will go, and added Autodesk to the trusted sites. Beyond that, I have no clue where to go.

Windows XP SP2 security alert displays when viewing DWF files embedded in
web pages. How do I fix this?
In Windows XP SP2, the following security alert is displayed each time you
view an embedded DWF file using Autodesk DWF Viewer or Autodesk DWF
Composer:



To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file
from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for
options.



For English, Japanese, and German versions of Autodesk DWF Viewer 5, please
download and install the latest build (521).



For earlier versions of the Autodesk DWF Viewer, please upgrade your viewer
to Autodesk DWF Viewer 5 build 521.



Note: With this new version of Autodesk DWF Viewer 5, the Windows XP SP2
security alert will continue to appear when viewing DWFs embedded in local
HTML pages. You can suppress this message by adding the following HTML tag
as the first line of any local HTML page that hosts DWF files:

Thanks, but that is not my problem... Is anyone else having this same error? It is VERY annoying, and even pops up every time I pick a menu or menu item.

The UI of the viewer is written using javaScript. Your security settings are
configured to warn you every time you execute any javascript. To solve the
problem you will need to adjust your security settings.

Did you see this ? Regarding XP and DWF / viewing / errors
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=4596562&linkID=6101575

Or could be ATI driver settings / try setting ATI program
config to "3D Max" or other setting before giving up on DWF.

Hi
Is there two Warren Powers on the DWF newsgroup?
I am Warren L. Powers in Woodburn, OR.

Mind sending a note to me, wondering if there are two of me; one I have yet to meet. ) 😆
