WIN XP SP2 active X controls, plug ins, add ins, downloading s

Hi Terri and Everyone,
I was wondering if you got the problem fixed because I'm having the same
problem. In fact, my job depends on using this particular Active X control
and they have given me 10 days to fix it or I'm fired! They suggest I
uninstall SP2 and reinstall it! What a pain! I'm hoping something else will
work. I'd do it if I KNEW it would work.
So, please, let me know if you solved this problem.

Thanx!

info bar. The info bar does not even show up when I try to download these
little pieces of software. Its maddening.

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 (!!).

The security level set by default in IE has been tightened up. In
Internet Options - Security page, either move selected sites to the
Trusted Zone, or in Internet zone click Custom and adjust specific
settings (Don't try to set its Default to lower security; it won't let
you)

And I'd start looking for another job, with more reasonable bosses.

All,

I have not solved the problem and it irritates me. It seems QED but
apparently not! I will NOT reinstall XP since there are only a couple of
sites that I cannot download benign little programs. I am not sure that would
fix it anyway.

Could not help but giggle over the 'job' requirement but I certainly
understand the situation since I did PC support before I retired.

Hi "Puter Friends,
Well, lo and behold! the rumors and not rumors! My problem was Norton
Internet Security, a program that was installed on my Sony with Norton AV.
Also, I uninstalled SP2 but don't think that was causing the problem.

I'd like to thank you for your attempts to help me.

I am so happy you found your problem and still have a job...lol. I tried
disabling my AV, antispyware,firewall and so forth but still could not
download the program that needed the Active X. Makes me so mad. We have to
get all this protection from the 'baddies' and then cannot download benign
software.
