Maybe you need to download Java. It's free. Go to:\nhttp://www.java.com/en/

If you disable McAfee, then you computer will be suspectible to viruses.   That would be a really stupid idea. \n\nBut use RUN from your Start menu, and type MSCONFIG.  Go to the startup section and UNCHECK anything EXCEPT the McAfee programs.  \n\nThen run Ad-aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy and really clean things up. \n\nBy the way, why the heck are you restarting your computer all the time.  Once a day should do the trick.  If you are using a notebook, it should be connected to it's power plug.  You might also use SUSPEND mode.

activex is a script, there are many of them, if a site is telling you you need to download an axtive x script, check under the toolbar for a yellow bar, and right click in it, it should give you the option to install it. If you get no yellow bar, and it won't install, it is set not to in security settings

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

You have to enable java and active x permissions in tools->internet options. Java is especially unsafe, so I just activate it when i want to play pool or cards.

To the extent of my knowlage , you cannot , i may be wrong , but it comes bundled in with XP and on windows update ACTIVE X tells WU if you dont have XP dont give you the option for WMM

It would be helpful to know what operating system you are using.\n\nI suggest rebooting in safe mode and uninstalling McAfee.  Then try to reboot.

I'd suggest ensure your "Windows Update" has been run and up to date.\nAlso re ActiveX, try yourself on here: http://pcpitstop.com/testax.asp\n\nThen if still problems, tell us your operating system (XP?, W98?) and the version of MSN (note, NOT msM) you're using.

you may have to uninstall McAfee Privacy and then re install it for it to work. I had the same problem a few months ago, and that is how i got around it

If McAfee partially installed and then Norton was installed, the programs may be conflicting. Look in Add/Remove programs and see if there is anything there with McAfee, and uninstall it. Part of the McAfee install may still be trying to run. Click Start, Run, msconfig, and look in the startup section for anything McAfee and uncheck it. If this doesn't work, Run Chkdsk and Defrag your drive.\nI have used Norton for 5 years and nothing has gotten by it yet.

I don't know, but I had the SAME problem, so I went and had a guy put AVG Free Edition on my computer, and it works great. I deleted all that Symantec crap..AND MCAFEE SUCKS TOO

I have both. I have problems w/ messenger; it has nothing to do with McAfee. Messenger was freezing my computer before I got McAfee. Go to control panel, add/remove programs, click change/remove on messenger, then click repair.

Get rid of McAfee...especially if you're using XP. They don't get along well at all. Crashed my pc twice before I learned the hard way.

I had the same problem w/McAfee Internet Security Suite...I spent several unsuccessful wasted hours with that challenge.  Finally, McAfee technical support admitted that the installation disk I bought had a corrupt spyware file.  Instead of reimbursing me for my troubles---they emailed a 'complete uninstall from registry program' which did not work.  \n\nTo make a long story short, I had to completely reformat my harddrive and completely reinstall my entire system to remove the McAfee Internet Security Suite from my system.  \n\nThat incident left a bad feeling regarding Symantec Norton / McAfee Internet Security Suite.\n\nGood Luck

Do you mean you want to activate Active X Controls?  If so, go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level.\n\nHere you can tweak your settings.  Find the menu called Active X controls and plugins; I choose Enable or Prompt.
