When Internet Explorer recognizes ActiveX controls or Javascripts, it will sometimes display an alert bar at the top of the page. Here is an example of what you will see.
To allow active content, click in the middle of the alert bar (if you click the X in the corner, the script will be blocked).
Select "Allow Blocked Content..." from the pop-up menu. The javascript will be allowed to run and you can then enjoy the slideshows.
This may also happen on other pages of our site where there are javascripts. The same steps can be taken on those pages as well in order to access the functions they provide.
