Everytime I go to a few websites, I get the message "Click to run an ActiveX control on this webpage" and then the webpage usually shuts down. This all started after I updated windows a couple days ago. After this problem arose I installed Windows update Xp KB912945, but this didn't do anything. When I uninstalled quicktime, everthing worked just fine, but if I do this, itunes cannot work, and I cannot allow that to happen. So any ideas?

To solve your problem. you need to update two patches one is KB912945 and the other one is KB917425. u can find it at microsoft windows downloads center or by the link below i posted. Firstly u need to download n install the first patch KB912945 n then follow by downloading the second patch KB917425. after u hv update the second patch, u requir to restart ur pc.\n\nafter restart, the irritating pop out "Click to run an ActiveX control on this webpage" should hv gone forever.haha

almost sounds like you are logged in as a "limited user"...be sure to be logged in under an administrator account and try again.... and also try going to the Microsoft Update site...the first thinmg they do is install the active X so they can continue to provide the updates your machine needs....

Not all active X Controllers are bad. Some you have to install to use a certain websites privies.\nInstall the Active X Controller the next time it pops up, and see if it works.\nYou may want to use a good adware program in case some of your settings have been changed. I recommend Ad-Aware SE which you can download from www.majorgeeks.com\nLet me know if this helps, ok?

I have XP - IE6 - SP2 too it was animating fairly quick i thought, there was kind of a delay to start over (the page was blank for a bit) though. But maybe that was intended.\n\nIt might help to delete your temp internet files.

Try adding norton.com and symantec.com to your Internet Explorer Trusted Sites list. In IE go to tools-->Internet Options-->Security, click on Trusted Sites then on the Sites button to build the list. Make sure to clear the box at the bottom "Require HTTPS secure connection" if it is checked. Set the level to Low (go back and set it back to Medium when you are done). This should allow you to get the ActiveX installed and from there, try to download the repair tool again.

Did you go directly to the source on the adobe website?\n\nGo directly to:\nhttp://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW\n\nYou can control it by clicking on the install link.\n\nAlso go to TOOLS, then Internet options, and then go to the security tab. Click on CUSTOM LEVEL and you need to make sure all your Active X options are enabled. \n\nThen go to the advanced tab and make sure the "play animations in webpage" is checked under MULTIMEDIA. Almost everything should be checked under there except the first two and something about placeholders.\n\nIf problem still persists, please go to:\nhttp://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie \n\nThe download popup should automatically come up. I think its the other easiest way.

Go on ActiveX's website and download it off there. If you download it from somewhere else then it is more likely to be a virus!!

I don't know why this happens but I used to get the same notice long before I started using the Yahoo sites. I found that if I quickly unchecked the little box that says "microsoft will restart your computer" and then clicked the x in the corner of the box, nothing would happen and I could continue on. You have to be fast! I think it must be a virus though because I upgraded my security service, downloaded Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware from Lava Soft along with Yahoo's Anti-Spy which got rid of a lot of spyware, malware and viruses, and I haven't had the problem since.

Have a look at your internet security options (Tools,  Internet Options, Security and also Privacy).  You may have got your PC protected too well to allow ActiveX controls.

What you should know about running scripts and ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer\n\nBe cautious about allowing Web sites to run scripts or ActiveX controls on your computer. While these items can enhance Web browsing, they can also be a security risk, and it’s best to avoid using them when you can. However, some Web sites or tasks might require them and you will have to decide whether to trust ActiveX controls that Internet Explorer blocks for your safety.\n\nWhat are scripts and ActiveX controls?\n\nScripts, ActiveX controls, and other Web browser add-ons are used extensively on the Internet. They can make browsing more enjoyable by providing toolbars, stock tickers, video, animated content, and more. These programs can, however, malfunction or give you content you don’t want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information from your computer in ways you might not approve of, possibly damage data on your computer, install software on your computer without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only install these programs if you completely trust the publisher. \n\nWhat should you do about ActiveX controls and scripts running on your computer?\n\nUse the default security settings in Internet Explorer. These settings will help protect you. If you feel like you need more protection while browsing the Internet, it's OK to increase your browser’s default security settings.\n\n Important\n\nThe default security settings in Internet Explorer are designed to help protect your computer from viruses and attacks over the Internet. Microsoft strongly recommends that you leave these security settings at their default level or higher.

Which is it?  ME or XP. \n\nLet's assume it's not ME, because that program would not know if it was active or not. \n\nI think it has to do with registration and ensuring it is a legal copy of XP.  They are tightening up on that these days, and updates won't work unless it is a registered copy.\n\nnice cut and paste dinger

To make this a bit less annoying, first off, instead of rebooting, try Ctrl + Alt + Del to access the task manager, then end the explorer.exe, if listed.  Then go to File - New Task (Run) and type 'explorer.exe' and hit enter to get everything running again, hopefully.  At least until you try to right-click again.  This should help hold you over.\n\nGo to Start - Run and type sfc.exe /scannow ---then hit Enter.\n\nAlso click here to download a registry patch that will disable the right-click function of XP.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenuundo.reg\n\n(I believe that you would have to reboot the computer for this to apply, but I would try first without rebooting)\n\nThen click here to reenable it.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenu.reg\n\nI thought this would be much easier than editing the registry.  Hope this works for you, it has for others.  Good luck.

If you are getting illegal operation errors, I'm assuming you have Windows 98SE, as this is a common occurance with IE and 98.\n\nIf you actually have XP, then I suggest doing an online virus check at one of the sites I've listed below.  Both are great virus and spyware programs as I have both, one on my home PC and the other on my Notebook.\nSecondly, make sure you have all your microsoft updates too.  These are very important. \n- I hope this works.  Good luck.
