Recently, I started getting this annoying message when I open property dialog boxes, like table properties or style properties that open in their own window:
Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and use this control
What could be causing this? I never used to see it.
Thanks. CCS 3.0.2.2

This is the result of a recent Windows update (KB912945, as described on http://news.com.com/2100-1032_3-6044418.html?part=rss&tag=6044418&subj=news). The fix is simple: uninstall Security Update for KBKB912945 from your Windows Control Panel.

From the overview: This IE compatibility patch will not be available for future security updates.

Hi!
it looks as if this problem was fixed in CCS 3.0.3.1 because KB912945 is installed on my computer but i have no such problems.

Its not a problem its a legal fight beetween MSoft and Eola.
It will happend whne you use Embeded Object on your HTML like Flash, some Java/Iframe Script etc.
There are few workaround for such behavior

(April 11) Microsoft released an Internet Explorer update in response to the patent battle between Microsoft and Eolas. After installing the update, Internet Explorer (not other browsers, fortunately) users will be required to “activate” embedded objects and plug-ins before they can interact with them. Here’s what sucks, most users will receive this update automatically via Windows Update. Embedded objects and controls affected are:
Adobe Reader
Apple QuickTime Player
Macromedia Flash
Microsoft Windows Media Player
Real Networks RealPlayer
Sun Java Virtual Machine
In order to activate these objects, users are required to press the space bar, enter key, or use the mouse to click on the item. Anyone that’s tested the Internet Explorer 7 beta will have noticed similar behavior within that browser. According to w3schools browser statistics, over 60% of web users browse using Internet Explorer, meaning within the next few days approximately 60% of visitors to Flash websites, or sites using embedded media will be required to activate the media before being able to use it; because of this, some users may assume that the website is broken.
Here’s the good news: Microsoft has posted a solution for web developers that would like to avoid their content being blocked. Essentially, in order to avoid this problem all that a web developer needs to do is embed the object via external script files. Those who have opted for Unobtrusive Flash Object placement within their websites will not be affected, because their content is already embedded in this manner.
What’s ironic about this entire situation is that it actually forces developers to use a more standards compliant approach, go figure.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Loading Interactive Controls Externally :::::::::::::::::::
To create Web pages that load interactive controls that respond immediately to user input, use Microsoft JScript to load controls from external script files. You cannot write script elements inline with the main HTML page to load your control externally. If the script is written inline programmatically, for example with the writeln function, the loaded control will behave as if it was loaded by the HTML document itself and will require activation. To ensure a control is interactive when it is loaded, use one of the following techniques to load your control from an external file.
The following example uses document.write to load a control dynamically.
<!-- HTML File -->
<html>
<body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 scroll=no>
<script src="docwrite.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
// docwrite.js
document.write('<object classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">');
document.write('<param name="URL" value="example.wmv">');
document.write('<param name="autoStart" value="-1"></object>');

The solution above was quite good, resolving the problem. But now, after installing KB916281, this damn thing has come back! Now what?! Are we gonna stay with this annoying thing for the rest of our lives?! Or coming back and forth with that creepy "activation" message after install successives patches?! 
Anyone has a fresh new solution (after june, 15th)?! Microsoft is forcing us to use another browser...

Just a note: I'm not sure if everyone here is talking about the same issue now. The fix (or workaround) for Web developers was posted above by maurice. A fix for Web users (clients/browsers) probably cannot be made due to legal restrictions - unless Web developers modify their Websites using the above fix.

I just want it to stop. I go to websites and get that. If there is a way to work around it that would be great.

There is, it's called using another browser. You have choices.

Annoying, but I could deal with it. However on my PC hitting the space bar or enter does nothing, and I can see no video or hear any sound. Does anyone have any ideas on a fix?

Hello,
I already had implemented a solution like maurice gave,
the problem that i have is that after a while a timeout must ocur that makes the browser show the "Click to Activate and use this control".
Has anyone got a solution for this or an explanation?
Best regards

I went back to an older version of Java-I went to one I knew was working in the application that was being affected on other computers. (1.4.2_03). Seems to have disappeared and seems to be working fine. I know very little about this stuff-but had to try something. Have no idea if it is a good fix or not-but am giving it a try!

The only problem with this solution is those paranoid users who disable javascript (I have a few of them where I work) -- but I now have a couple things to ponder.

As developer I used the script solution from Maurice and placed the object code also between noscript tags in case Javascript is disabled. Works ok for me.
