Sevice Pack 2 problem activex.

[raid517]

Hi whenever I restart my computer I always get an Internet Explorer message saying that: "Your current security settings prevent active X controls from being run on this page." Does anybody know what this means and how to stop it? It happens a lot too whenever I try to load some web pages.

Thanks in adance for any help anybody can ofer.

I have this problem also.. this is the biggest pain in the A**. I havn't tried this yet because I'm at work but I have read that this will fix it.. (I will try it tonight and get back to the thread.)

;supposed fix for activex errors with sp2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN

(Change both keys there to zero)

[raid517]

Mmm... I wiill give that a go...

If anyone has any more ideas, feel free to coment.

Q

[Veedems Veteran]

are you an official beta tester?

[raid517]

Man thanks, that worked.

@bangbang023 no I'm not I just installed the service pack though some helpful hints by folks here on Neowin.

Why do you ask? Do you have a problem with that or something?

I installed it to see if it would solve some inexplicable restart issues I was having. The good old 'page fault in non paged area' bug. So far so good.

I was asking because if you were an official tester you could have just used the newsgroups. I am starting to understand how gameguy feels.

[raid517]

And what's that supposed to mean? I couldn't really give a rat's fart how 'gameguy' feels. What I do has nothing to do with him, or you for that matter. I installed the service pack to see if it would fix a problem. It did, but as a concequence it created another (much less significant) glitch. I then fixed that.

Where exactly is your problem with this?

Mmm... Like I even care anyway I guess...

Please guys, keep it down

To Bangbang:

If unofficial tester weren't there it would take months more to bring out new products.

Don't envie those who put time in beta testing, if u really want it, u can too

[raid517]

Ahh give it up guys, I haven't got the energy to fight. Really in truth the official beta testers probably have more effect on the end product. But what gets me sometimes is how they imagine themselves to be a superior breed, when in truth all they did was fill in a form. Anybody can be an official MS beta tester - indeed I signed up for the W2K03 beta testing program and was accepted. In the end, because I was on a modem at that time I couldn't be assed downloading the ISO, so I didn't bother with it.

The only point I was making is that I am not going to come here and put up with getting a hard time over a very simple issue, which thanks to a more helpful previous poster was very quickly and very easily resolved.

I mean, sheesh... you'd think I'd stolen something. I can name any one of at least 50 sites you could visit right now and download SP2 beta. It is literally no big deal - and as I said, no one else's business what I do.

Kind regards,

GJ

Um, I am a tester. I just hate when people complain about problems from something they shouldn't be using in the first place. And raid, I wasn't implying anything by it. I was simply going to suggest the newsgroups if you were a tester because they tend to be more helpful. You want to use an unreleased sp2? Feel free. You have to realize though that there are errors with it and, for you, fixing it will be alot more dofficult for someone in the actual program.

[Amadeke]

Asking for advice is not the same as complaining imho

And u don't have to show specific skills to be a beta tester so u should have questions too

So someone with skills could do more then someone without skills in the program.

I myself test alot of products, not only MS and mostly things go rather well

@bangbang023 like I said, get off your high horse for a second why not? Better than that, why don't you just butt out? Clearly you have nothing contructive to say. I don't care if it upsets you that I am using SP2 - indeed the truth be known it makes me feel good to know that it does upset you so much.

Nobody came here complaining, I came here and asked a very simple question that thankfully was very quickly resolved. Where is the definition of complaint in that?

I appreciate the input, but really you should know that I will pretty much do what I damn well want, whether you approve or not.

I trust this finally clears this issue up for you.

This site is going down the toilet. Rather than helping people it seems people here are on a quest to make sure people aren't using pirated software or are official testers, basically looking for any excuse not to help someone.

Pretty soon when you post, you'll have to type in your beta id#, plus your xp serial # to prove it's not pirated. This is stupid, even if someone has pirated software/isn't a beta tester you should still help them.

[Amadeke]

I completely agree with Gosh

This site isn't going down any toilet, shut up. :sleep:

Stop fighting. If you fixed your ActiveX Problem, move on. nothing else to talk about here.

You have to use this in Internet Options.

:rofl: :ninja:

lmao :laugh:

[raid517]

Thanks kev64, unfortunately they are all enabled already. So that isn't the cause. But the other method does work.

I'm tempted to tell gameguy to go spin - maybe it makes him happy when other guys here blow him off - but since this thread is fairly old now I'll let it drop.

Anyway for those that took the time and care to offer a genuinely helpful response, thanks very much. To all the rest, well you already know what I think you should all go do.

Kind regards,

GJ
