I posted this question a week ago and got a fast answer.
Unfortunately, I assumed too quickly that it solved my
problem. It turns out it didn't, and so I'm reposting.

I use the Westlaw web site to do legal research. I've added
it to my trusted zone, but every time I go to the web site,
I get a message that the page contains both secure and
nonsecure items. On one of my computers, the introductory
page is the only one that does that. On my laptop, however,
I get that message every time I go to a new web page on the
site. That slows down my research enough to be annoying,
since I have to click on the message to indicate whether I
want to display the nonsecure items -- which I do, in the
case of the WestLaw web site.

In the reply I received the first time, I was advised to
change these two settings:

First:

1. Tools | Internet Options | Advanced
2. Uncheck "Warn if changing between secure and not secure
mode"

Second:

1. Tools | Internet Options | Security
2. Highlight Trusted Sites | Custom Level
3. Under Miscellaneous, enable "Display mixed content" to
Enable.

I've done both those things, but I still keep getting the
message. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it?

Perhaps you are getting it now for a different security zone?
(E.g. you only changed the setting in Trusted Sites
and now are getting the message in the Internet zone.)
If so, add the new site to the Trusted Sites zone too.

Tip: use the Privacy Report (Alt-V,v) to see all the sites
involved in the display of a web page.

Another possibility is that the other computer has a problem
with malware (e.g. spyware) and it is what is causing the symptom.

Hi Robert,

I'm a little confused. Just at the time you posted your
response, the problem stopped, and it hasn't come back over
the last few days.

In any case, I had the site in the trusted zone, so that
shouldn't have been the issue. Also, I have three different
spyware programs (MS Beta, Pest Patrol and Adaware) and all
showed that the computer was clean.

I guess this was just one of those little blips computers
like to do once in a while.

I wasn't familiar with the use of the Privacy Report. Guess
it's new with SP2, which I installed only recently, or maybe
I was just oblivious to it. In any case, thanks for pointing
it out to me.
