Re: ActiveX controlls blocked on IE

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, click the Security tab, click the
Internet Web content zone, and then click Custom Level. In the Settings
box, click Enable or Prompt under Download signed ActiveX controls, Download
unsigned ActiveX controls, Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked
as safe, Run ActiveX controls and plugins, and Script ActiveX controls
marked safe for scripting. Click OK, and then click OK again.

Don't know about AVG, but some anti-virus software have ActiveX blocking
options.

If no joy, make sure the proper values for the above are being written to
your registry:

Description of Internet Explorer security zones registry entries
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182569/EN-US/

And try going to Start...Run and type in "regsvr32 comcat.dll" (no quotes),
click Okay.
If no joy, do the same to these:
Actxprxy.dll
Advpack.dll
Inseng.dll
Jobexec.dll
Url.dll
Urlmon.dll
Wininet.dll
Wintrust.dll

If still no joy, also see...

A Web page that contains a custom ActiveX control may not load as expected
in Internet Explorer due to defense in depth changes introduced in
cumulative security update 896688 (MS05-052)

Windows XP Home SP2
AVG antivirus, Windows firewall.

When browsing pages with ActiveX controlls the IE information bar reads:
"Your security settings do not allow Web sites to use ActiveX controls
installed on your computer. This page may not display correctly. Click
here
for options."

Clicking on the bar, the ONLY option available is Help. The option to
install or allow ActiveX controlls is not there.

I have tried everything I could find here and on the net to fix this
problem
and nothing works. Reinstalling XP is NOT an option. The PC is 100% free
of
malware and completely up to date (WindowsUpdate works just fine as you
may
notice).

Creating a new user account does not fix the problem, the blockage is
machine-wide.

Help is needed ASAP!

Thank you for your reply.
