Active-X and SP2 problem
My PC with SP2 refuses to allow the HP site to download and install an
active-ex script to check and see if I need updated software. HOW THE $&*&^%$ bloody hell do I shut that damn thing off? I need this done. Do I have to uninstall SP2 yet again to allow the HP site to install the script? Clicking on the bar to allow it to download on my PC didn't work. How do I get rid of these Sp2 pain in the ass security problems? My PC is a HP w/W-XP Home/SP2 . I'm the Owner Administrator of the PC and the only user. TIA FS~ |

The "pain in the ass" security problems have probably saved your ass when you go to a malicious web site. Your attitude is why there are so many successful malware infections. I'm not going to tell you how to disable the secrurity because this is a public newsgroup and someone who doesn't understand the implications may disable the activex security and be infected because of it. It is in the Internet Explorer settings under Options/Security. You'll have to play with it yourself to figure it out. Kerry |

How do I get rid of these Sp2 pain in the ass security problems? My PC is a HP w/W-XP Home/SP2 . I'm the Owner Administrator of the PC and the only user. ============================= The "pain in the ass" security problems have probably saved your ass when you go to a malicious web site. Your attitude is why there are so many successful malware infections. $$ My attitude soured when the MS warning bar said CLICK HERE to allow the download then still would not allow me to download the Acive-X I needed. We should be warned we may experience such problems and how to avoid them. *When I clicked to allow the download it still would not allow the HP Active-X to download.* It would be nice of these security-programs actually worked as they're supposed to. I'm sorry but I spent a lot of time trying to get that download last night and didn't need all the aggravation of a non-working (says to click here to download then wont allow it anyway) security-program. I'm not going to tell you how to disable the secrurity because this is a public newsgroup and someone who doesn't understand the implications may disable the activex security and be infected because of it. $$ Then how do I download the Active-X from HP's website??? It is in the Internet Explorer settings under Options/Security. You'll have to play with it yourself to figure it out. $$ Following the HP websites information I set my security to MEDIUM and the SP2 thing still wouldn't allow the download, even though it said to CLICK the bar to allow it. I feel like I've given up the power over my PC to MS. The bar shouldn't say CLICK HERE if it still don't allow the download. FS~ |

Make sure you write down any changes you do so you can set it back. I would try the suggestion from Laythos first and add the HP site to the Trusted Sites. Kerry |

Check out the settings to do with ActiveX. ## I already did that and still it wouldn't allow the download - it wont allow updates from MS either. I had security set to LOW and all Active-X set to enable or allow. It made no difference. Make sure you write down any changes you do so you can set it back. I would try the suggestion from Laythos first and add the HP site to the Trusted Sites. ## I already did that! I can't think of anything else to do!!!! I am unable to get updates from HP and MS itself! FS~ |
