Re: Active X information bar does not appear. Followed MSFT sugges

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



I am not getting the bar at the office update or the windows update. There
is no message simply instruction on what to do if the bar does not appear and
what to do if it does so it it not triggering an error on the update server.

One time I had an error report return a message that I should do a virus
scan and referred me to the windows scan site and I couldn't get the windows
software to work because of an active x problem then.

I downloaded panda and have 3 spyware programs including the MSFT version
and did a system scan in safe mode and found the spyware that was causing
that problem. I don't think that has anything to do with the active x
problem. I tell that to give you an example of another active x problem at
the msft website.

Hi Mike :-)

It is only on the Windows Upate that the Information Bar is not observed?
Are you getting any error messages when you try to download and the bar does
not appear?

I don't have the add on WuWebControlClass

the registry was ok. I had already downloaded the registry changes in
Otto's post.
I have cleared all the temporary files and have now turn off my Microsoft
firewall (ironic that MSFT did not tell me to do this.) and my Panda
antivirus

still not working.

In addition to my previous suggestions:

Courtesy of Ottmar Freudenberger:

If this happened after installing KB896688 (MS05-052), the latest
Cumulative Update for IE, try the following:

Download the file OLEfix.zip available here (it is a registry file
that originates from MS Support, and it has fixed the ActiveX problem
for several people, getting this problem after installing KB896688):

http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip

Extract it and double click the contained OLEfix.reg file. Click Yes
on the dialog box that asks you if you are sure to add the information
in OLEfix.reg to the registry.

See also the new released KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909889
which is referred to *now* in the revised Security Bulletin 05-052.


Hope this helps.

I am trying to download the new improved windows and office updater and
the
active x information bar will not appear. I have followed the prompted
solutions (clear temp files, update trusted sites etc.) but none have
solved
it.

Any suggestions?
