Re: IE7 Information Bar missing

Yes, it still does not bring up the info bar in No Add-ons mode.

I had already done the RIES at some point, but I just did it again. Still no
ActiveX info bar.

Thanks for the link on uninstalling XPSP3 before uninstalling IE7. I've been
running IE7 for many months and I upgraded to XPSP3 a couple of months ago. I
hadn't had any problems until this past weekend when I reset the security and
privacy options.

By the way, it seems to be only the ActiveX info bar that isn't appearing.
The Pop-up Blocked info bar is appearing after trying Carey's suggestion.

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 *exactly* per the link below (which
automatically returns you to IE6), (b) all toolbars and (c) all third-party
Windows Themes (including Window Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this
behavior persist? If it does, do NOT reinstall IE7.

4. Required reading IMHO before reinstalling IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then
STOP
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

Direct Download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

5. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

[Cross-posted from Setup & Deployment]
A couple of days ago, I noticed that the "Open in new tab" option was
missing from the right-click menu for links on one of my PCs. One of the
suggested solutions was to apply the defaults for security and privacy
options. When I applied these options, the information bar stopped
appearing, meaning I now can't run ActiveX when prompted, as I don't see
the prompt.

I have tried the following suggestions to resolve this, but nothing has
worked so far:
- adjusting Tools/Internet Options/Security (Automatic Prompting etc.)
- OLEFix
and probably others that I can't remember. I don't want to leave me system
at a low security level, but I also want the option of running ActiveX
when
I need to (e.g. Windows Update).

Any other suggestions?

WinXP SP3, IE7, latest updates applied
