Many thanks for your advice. I had hoped that I might have been able to
avoid reformatting my hard disk although I had foreseen that as being the
ultimate solution.
Anyhow you appear to have had the same problem and found the solution and I
must be thankful for that.
Before proceeding I would welcome some further advice.
1. You say that you had to flag the updates. How do I go about that? Would
I be
flagging updates to download or ones to ignore.? Will I know which
ones to avoid? I seem to recall that, the last time I formatted my
hard disk, I had to install IE5 and then update it to ver.6 and there were an
awful lot of updates!.
2. How much backing up would you recommend me to do before formatting my
hard disk.? Would I be correct in assuming that If I backed up the
complete disk,with say Paragon Hard Disk Manager,and restored it after
reformatting the hard disk,I would end up where I started with all the bugs
and debris restored also?
I will be away from home (and my computer) until the middle or possibly the
end of next week so will not be taking steps to resolve my issue until after
I return.
I do appreciate your help.

I have a problem with ActiveX which is preventing the McAfee ActiveX controls
required for the proper functioning of VirusScan from installing. When
VirusScan is enabled my computer is impossibly slow (about 8 minutes to boot
and about a further 3 minutes to log onto Outlook Express.) My computer is 6
years old, a Gateway 450SP running on Windows 98 2nd ed with 192 MB of Ram
and currently has 51 GB of hard disk space free. Long waits after each
operation with mouse pointer frozen or moving in jerks with a lot of disk
activity in the background would seem to indicate that the computer was
running out of memory.
I have been pursuing this issue with McAfee technical support and so far
have not found a solution. Although the problem came to light when I
installed VirusScan I think it stems from a pre-existing problem within
Internet Explorer .
I have carried out the following in an effort to resolve the issue.
1. Have checked security settings in Internet Explorer 6 (the default
settings) to ensure that they are as specified by McAfee.
2. Have used McAfee VSCleanup tool to uninstall VirusScan . I then
reinstalled same.
3. Attempted to install McAfee ActiveX controls using the McAfee AXC tool
but failed.
4. Have downloaded and installed/reinstalled Internet Explorer 6 Service
Pack1.
5. Ditto. Windows Script Engine and Visual Basic Runtime .
Advice on what is causing the problem which prevents the installation of
ActiveX components and how to solve the issue would be much appreciated.
If I were to Backup my Hard Disk and then reformat it, reinstall the
operating system and then restore the programs and files from the Backup
would I be likely to finish up with the problem restored also.?
Many Thanks
