What does this security warning from IE mean?

I was out in a blizzard this morning with only my trusty Sprint HTC Touch when I got a call about an issue with our toll free Vonage numbers. No problem I thought. I'll just log into the Vonage web site and forward those calls to another number temporarily.

However, when I tried to log in to the Vonage web site I got this error/warning from Internet Explorer:

"Some content cannot be displayed due to the Pocket PC security settings."

The only option was to press the OK button which left me at a completely blank page.

I've never seen that message and have no idea what it's talking about. I looked for IE security settings, but nothing seemed relevant. A search of these forums doesn't find that message. A general Google search brings up a lot of stuff unrelated to Windows Mobile. There are a couple of people that reported the same type of problem with other web sites, but no solutions were offered.

Anyone know what this means and how I get around this "security"?

brand,

That link you posted doesn't work. And the quote you posted just points at the security settings page in IE. The only "security" options are to allow/disallow cookies (I allow cookies) and two checkboxes that enable/disable warning messages.

I can disable the warnings, but then I just get the blank page. I was hoping someone can tell me what the warning means and how to fix the "security setting" that is preventing the pages from displaying.
