Re: ActiveX problems

The first of the files on that website is definitely the Java Machine, and
the second is an update from a while ago, the third is (or appears to be)
the one you get offered by Windows Update once the first is installed. I
know that's correct because this machine had never had the MS machine on it
and it does now. However the second update posted on the website may not be
needed - basically I installed the first and went straight to Windows
Update.

Unfortunately it made no difference anyway, and a better look at the pages
reveals that Java is nothing to do with it.

I couldn't get the .cab file from the traffic cam site but I did get the
university ones (Sine and BarChart) and then copied the relevant stuff into
a local page in case there was any conflict caused by the various security
settings, but again no luck. I can't find a setting problem on here, in fact
I run with fairly relaxed settings compared to many folks, and still nothing
so I wonder if the ActiveX has been compiled properly. I am not sure which
of the ActiveX related newsgroups it would be best to ask questions in, just
in case something else can affect the compilations such as having .net
installed. I guess it's not impossible that compilation on a machine without
it, or with an earlier version compiler may have a compilation option
missing for newer installs or for installs with alternative libraries
present.
