RE: Problems after latest windows update

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,
Stumbled across this little Gem of information ... KB_240797, whilst reading
KB_896688.

Aparently KB_896688 revised the "kill bit" for ActiveX.

Although it is not recommended you can "unkill" the relevant ActiveX by
altering the CLSID within the registry

Hopefully this helps, or points you into the right direction
