youll probably need to enable the active x controls in your internet options in your browser

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....

When that happens your browser is protecting you from possibly downloading virus' or spyware.  If you are getting those messages just be going onto a page then be thankful you get the message and not the ActiveX program.  You probably don't want the Activex program on your pc.\n\nNow - sometimes there's an ActiveX that you really want.  Like if you're trying to play a game and it's telling you to download an ActiveX control so the game can load on your system.\n\nSo just be careful and aware of what you are letting into your system.

Hi Maria,\n\nReally, you need to upgrade from ME to XP as soon as you possibly can.  ME is possibly the worst Operating System Microsoft ever came out with.  It is loaded with errors and vulnerabilities.  Until you're able to do this, though, you can try some things suggested in the link I've included below for you that talks about User32.dll errors.  I hope this works for you.\n\nAs far as updating your drivers, just go to the Microsoft Windows Update site (click on Tools, then click on Windows Update).  You'll get all the updates and many of the drivers your computer needs.  For specific drivers, you can go to the specific site for those, such as video drivers, sound cards, etc.\n\nThe ActiveX message isn't that big a deal.  If you are sure of the website that you are using, go ahead and allow the ActiveX control to be loaded.  The only thing that may happen if you don't load it is that the display may not look the way the author intended.  It will not harm your computer in any way.\n\nAgain, though, please upgrade from ME as soon as you can.  You'll be happy you did.  You can get XP Home for less than $100, or XP Pro for something like $185 or so, depending on where you go.\n\nBest of luck to you.

i am not sure but it has something to do with your activeX control settings.

The reason is ActiveX is a great way to spread virus and other damaging programmes.  Your security settings have been set up so that you are asked each time, that way they cannot 'sneak' an ActiveX inside a webpage.\nIf you want to see your settings, go to\n\nTools> Internet Options> Security..\n\nThen click on the Custom Level but rather than change everything, just have a look at your active controls.\n\nI would suggest putting up with this little annoyance so you can decide for each site you visit if you trust them

If you are using Internet Explorer, ensure that java is enabled and activex control allowed

It's not an error message. Your computer is telling you that your settings prevent the use of ActiveX controls.  You can get rid of this message by going to Tools, Internet Options, Security tab.  Reset your security settings to "medium." That should get rid of the dialog box in most cases.

does the chat room need a download for activex or java to have it working?

Do you have the newest Direct X version installed? You can check at http://update.microsoft.com\n\nYou might also want to switch from Microsoft Explorer to Firefox! It's much better than Microsoft Explorer anyway!\n\nCheck here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

ActiveX is Microsoft's technology for signing plug-ins that add additional software to your computer when a web page is accessed. If all goes well, you will be asked whether you want to trust a plug-in from that particular company and you will have the option of saying no. In principle, this is a useful way to allow the installation of worthwhile add-ons, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Macromedia Flash Player and RealPlayer. However, if you do not run Windows Update regularly, all will not go well -- there have been security flaws in Internet Explorer in the past that have resulted in software being able to install itself without permission.\n\nIf you do not have a specific, clear reason to want and trust the software you are being asked to install -- that is, if it is not the Macromedia Flash Player or the Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader or something similarly crucial that you really need -- SAY NO! Many nasty pieces of awful spyware are properly signed and will ask permission to install, knowing that some people will naively give it. You do NOT, for instance, want to say yes to installing things like "WeatherBug" or "MemoryMeter," among many others. For more information about removing such programs you may have installed by mistake

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.

Please be warned that ActiveX controls are one of the major source of virus. By doing the steps below, you are basically putting up an open invitation for viruses and trojans.\n\n1. Click Tools > Internet Options\n2. Click Security tab\n3. Click Internet\n4. Click Custom Level...\n5. Look for "ActiveX controls and plug-ins"\n6. Under Download signed ActiveX controls, click "Enable"\n\nAnd if you want ALL ActiveX controls to be downloaded...\n7. Under Download unsigned ActiveX controls, click "Enable"

Since Win98 is EOL (End of Life) the best I can offer you is this,\n\nhttp://activex.microsoft.com/activex/activex/\n\nI would strongly suggest you upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
