check out this forum link (http://www.talkfrontpage.com/showthread.php?t=5975&highlight=Click+activate+control). It is probably your background sound that triggered it maybe

Hi DT,

I downloaded it but I still have the same problem.

it happens on lots of websites, I am coming across it all the time, especialy Flash navigation, people just have to click on the item to activate it, or ignore it if they dont want to use it. I dont actually get that message on your site.

The forum link was in April and I think it says that the patch is only temporary and that eventually it will be permanent that you have to click to activate, so presumably that is now what is happening. Your background sound uses the EMBED tag, which is one of the tags that wil produce that message. Personally it doesnt bother me and thousands if not millions of people will get it wherever they go, ultimately I am sure a fix will be on offer. If it bothers you maybe remove your background sound, but I wouldnt worry, most people will be used to seeing that now I would have thought on other sites.
