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

I also downloaded and install ie7 beta in hopes of fixing this and it did not.

All this need for the new update software started when I got an error
message closing excel and the error message to me was to go get an office
update. I have been trying for two days to determine what that update is and
to get it. :)

If not for Access and some things I did in frontpage I would buy a mac
today. This is too much work just to get out spreadsheets.

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?
