XP SP2 active x control,add-ins,plug-ins nightmare
Terri,
Did you ever get this solved? I found your post today and I'm having the same issue with a client's site. I don't get a yellow error bar and can't download their reports. I had to clean and wipe the hard drive on one of the laptops and reinstall xp without SP2 to be able to do the downloads. I would much rather use my desktop for this stuff. Any luck? Thanks, Angi "terri" wrote: I had already done the functions in the add on manager and other areas they refer to. I even checked in security and enabled all active x items. Problem is that I do not get the info bar at all for active x options. I only get it for pop up control. What I want to do seems to be QED but is a nightmare at this point. I just want to be able to get the options to download active x..grrrrrr. Terri "Johnny Hawk" wrote: Try reading the article "Changes to functionality in Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Having big issues with security and cannot find answers anywhere on Microsoft and getting really frustrated. Used all resources on MS and no help. I need to enable add -ons, plug ins and Active X controls for many functions I use on many web sites regardless of security issues. Could not get even Office update to work and Office discussion page tells me I need Active X control (not on info bar..on page itself in large blue letters) to use discussion group (!!). Used add on management and all add ons that are in use or have been in use on IE 6 say 'enabled' but are not working. I especially need any showing Active X or Java. I tried to update each item on both lists; some updated, some said no update available but still won't work. I did some checking/unchecking on internet security options for active X (there are so many) but still not working. Here are some issues and I need to know how to fix them please. I use XP SP2 pop up control and my own firewall with latest version of Trend Pc Cillin Internet security/ virus protection. XP firewall disabled. 1. Office and Windows Updates start to search my system and tell me 'The Office Update Catalog cannot be displayed - The Office Update site is currently experiencing some technical difficulties and is unable to check for updates'. I try day after day but neither will work. Windows Update search just keeps running with no results. 2. Cannot print coupons on line such as on www.airwick.com. Says they have printed but haven't and nothing wrong with printer functions (I tested). There is a plug-in per airwick site help and says I need but I get no security error on info bar except pop up and I tempy disabled it but still nothing prints. On coolsavings.com (which I have used for years)...when I go to download the coupon print manager it tells me to use the info bar to allow the download of Active X but there is NO info bar coming up. This is ridiculous. Printing coupons using their software is just fine with me so why can't I? 3.When the info bar does come on some sites and tells me about active X controls and I go to options there is only info on this and no way to enable the controls even tempy like you can with pop ups. Sometimes the info bar disappears before I can even click on options. Bottom line is that I need to enable Active X and Java to see/print,etc regardless of SP2 security. I need to be able to use add ons and plugs in at my discretion. I know I am not alone so not sure why your web site does not directly address how to do this. HELP PLEASE. This is driving me nuts. Even your incident submission page says it requires Active X controls to display...JEEEZ. Have tried to submit this four times. Won't collect data on my computer nor sent this to you. Guess it needs active X to do that too. This is crazy. Terri |

XP SP2 active x control,add-ins,plug-ins nightmare
No I never did it resolved. It only causes me problems on certain sites and
nothing I can't really live without....unlike your case. It just irritates me that I cannot get the yellow bar to prompt me to accept the particular Active X I need for those sites.
