            2. Add the URL for Innovator to this zone.

        ii. Select the Custom Level button and insure the following settings (scroll down to find an appropriate option):

            1. .NET Framework-reliant components

                a. Run components not signed with Authenticode - Enable

                b. Run components signed with Authenticode - Enable

            3. Downloads

                a. File download – Enable.

        ii. In the "Tabs" section, Select the Settings button

            1. In the "When a pop-up is encountered:" section select Always open Pop-ups in a new window

                (Let internet explorer decides how pop-ups should open is the minimum setting allowed.)
