RE: Problem with activeX cotrol

I wonder if anyone ever was able to help Lars. I started having the same

difficulty about the same time as he did, and I have never found anyone at

Microsoft who will give me any answer than "Do not worry just use it." This

despite having the had folks at Microsoft spend three different afternoons

wtih remote assistance.

I nuked and burned my hard drive many, many times trying to resolve this at

one point after this began, a warranty repair required a new motherboard and

hard drive at the same time. Yet still this persists.

Curiously, I have just found this same issue on the IE 7 update downloaded

from the web, but when I went to the library and downloaded it, the

installation method required no ActiveX, and it had a completely

different-looking installation sequence.

I hope someone can address this. In the meantime, I hope to find this issue

elsewhere on this board.

Thanks to all who answer here.
