Active X Error and IE... 1

[djmousie]

Currently trying to fix an Active X error on a friends PC. Even after changing the IE settings so that all Active X settings are Enabled, still cannot download things that require active x. I get an error msg asking to turn on Active X. Windows update website requires it to make installs. Any ideas?

I have been fighting this same problem. Finally have found that the ActiveX in the windows\downloaded program files was damaged. I repaired XP & this seemed to fix the problem. Drove me crazy for several weeks.
Hope this helps.

If you are on XP SP2, try updating your Java at

I had a problem with some active x controls not working correctly and this solved the problem.

I'm having the same problem. I've downloaded the JDK 5.0 Update 1 with NetBeans 4.0 Bundle and installed it. Now what?

I am having the same problem, I have been talking to Microsoft for hours about this with no luck, no matter what my settings are on IE my active x controllers are blocked and my information bar does not display, I have tried almost everything from reinstalling windows, making sure windows components were not corrupt, fixing the IE settings, and checking the registry. Do any of you have any other ideas on how to fix this?

YEah, you probably aren't going to like this - but add the site to your trusted sites list and try it again- it'll probably work then.
