Hi Ekeim, I'm talking about Win 98se. The full name of this update (in
add/remove software) is 'Internet Explorer Q912812'. You can easily uninstall
it from this location.
Good luck,
Andrew

dear andrew, thank you very much for clearing up a lot of questions for me !.
i would love to uninstall the Q912812-update, in spite of the security
risks, but don't know how to do this.
i can't find it in the add/remove software list (some other updates are
mentioned there, but not this one).
when i right-click Q912812.inf i can only choose install, not uninstall;
clicking install doesn't have any effect.
what to do ?
thanks !

The answer is very simple and I don't have good news for you. You've just
lost your battle.
1. Support of Win 98se is finished within 10 days meaning that you have to
help yourself with any problem
2. Microsft lost a law suit recently and therefore had to change the way the
ActiveX controls are dealt with. It incorporated the changes into its April
Security Update that you installed on your PC. Therefore you have problems.
There are some patches for newer versions of Windows to give back old
functionality, but only for the period preceding June 15, after which date
the changes will be permanent.
If you still want to enjoy old functionality of ActiveX, you can uninstal
update Q912812 and everything will return to normality, but you would expose
yourself to some security problems that are solved by this update.
In order to be able to use ActiveX after June 15, the websites from which
you're downloading them should create their ActiveX controls in Java 1.5. It
well can be that Win 98 users will have to switch to Win XP

Andrew

Hi Glenn
One further point. I don’t think I receive automatic updates from
Microsoft. If I do I am not aware of it. Critical updates are installed
only when I choose them which I always do.
I’m taking off on my short break now and hope to return with a clearer head.
Regards and thanks in anticipation

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
