ActiveX

How can I get this ActiveX off my computer? It is not
letting me view alot of Java that I would love to be able
to see. Thx Tammy

Have you tried bringing IE to the minimum security settings temporarily at
all? If not, try lowering them, applying settings and the closing IE. Then
open up IE and see if you still have the same issues with activex. If not,
then tweaking your security settings should suffice.

error message: current security settings prohibit running
activex controls on this page. I've changed my settings
so everything is as low as it can go. I cant even
download windows updates. i've used all my
troubleshooters and nothing is working. I need specific
help. Thanks

Can't run Windows Update. Says current settings for
internet security are prohibiting ActiveX controls from
running on this page. I've went into Internet settings
and have changed all security settings 1st to DEFAULT
(that didn't help) so then to LOW and under advanced,
have defaulted that. This is suppose to allow Windows
Update to run but it isn't. Any ideas???

Manually edit security to allow ActiveX instead of selelcting predetermined
settings. You're modifying the Internet zone.

This is a friends XP Home PC. She uses a dialup
connection. Brought it to my house & put on cable modem.
I can now at least browse the web but Windows Update
still aborts with ActiveX error. I am downloading latest
XP Service Pack 1a. Will install that & see what
happends. Her Symantec/Norton AV is getting errors while
running LiveUpdate, so not certain about it's status yet.
I'm afraid it's infected...thx for your effort.

Well, then I'm pretty sure that you're not changing the right settings in IE
in which case SP1 won't do you any good.
It's Tools / Internet Options / Security / Select "Internet", then "Custom
Level" and change all the ActiveX settings that are set to "Disable" to
"Prompt". Restart IE and I'm sure it will work.

When I go to microsoft web page for updates. A pop
up appears "your current security setting prohibit
running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the
page may not display correctly"

I have tried the troubleshooting page but none of the
solutions there work for me.
What is the issue with this as I have received it in other
instances and don't know how to fix it.
