Internet Explorer problem
 

I have been getting error messages when going to certain websites : "your
browser is not active x enabled" (or something to the same effect.) So I
went into "tools"- "internet options" and clicked "enable" for all active x
entries. But still the webpages gave the same error message. Looking in
"control panel-add remove programs" , there is no longer an entry titled
"Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Tools", so I could not do the "repair
Internet Explorer" option. There is an entry called "Internet Explorer
Q831167". When I chose to uninstall that entry, the old entry (Internet
Explorer 6 and Internet Tools) did not come back. Doing an update via
Windows Update website, the entry IE Q831167 came back, but not the original
entry which is Internet Explorer 6 and Tools. Any one know how to get it
back?

Internet Explorer problem
 

It would be under *Microsoft* Internet Explorer in
add/remove list.
Or go to Start/Run
Type Msinfo32 click OK.
At top click on tools and select IE Repair Tool.
Bolt Repair Internet Explore and OK. Be sure to answer
yes to a restart. Run AdAware after restart.

In the "Add/Remove Programs" list, IE itself is always listed under 'M' for
"Microsoft Internet Explorer". As you say, the updates and fixes and listed
under "I" for "Internet Explorer".

Logic? Whassa?

Internet Explorer problem
 

I tried the repair, didn't fix the problem. There is no entry in add/remove
for "Microsoft Internet Explorer" or "Internet Explorer". (There IS an entry
for "Microsoft Outlook Express"). Before trying the repair, I did full
sweeps with up-to-date Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Antivir Free
Edition, and Webroot Spy Sweeper. No problems were detected by these
programs. Can anyone help?

As ppoatt & Stapley have suggested, the correct reading is "Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6 SP1 & Internet Tools". If it is still not there
after the Repair, then...

Over-install IE. Try first without, but I believe it will request an
internet connection. Perhaps it is best to let it connect, actually. If
you don't care to get this fancy, just skip to step (c).

(a) Turn off interfering programs. Use http://www.pcmag.com/ 's
"StartupCop" or "EndItAll2". Or "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab".
Note what is unchecked, if anything. Then, go to the General tab &
disable the entire Startup Group, by clicking "Selective.." & unchecking
"Load Startup...". Reboot.

(b) Perhaps, if you haven't got EndItAll2, then "Ctrl-Alt-Del" & end
task all but Explorer & Systray. If this goes badly, start again from
top, & skip it next time.

(c) "START, Find, F/F, IE6Setup.exe". Click it in the Find window.
NOTE: If you are IE5, then it's "IE5Setup.exe". If there are more
than one (I have two each), click the one in "C:\WINDOWS\Windows
Update Setup Files" or "C:\Windows Update Setup Files", as applicable.

(d) Re-enable the Startup Group. That will automatically check all
items. Go to the Startup tab & uncheck any noted in step (a). Reboot.

(e) Perhaps go to Windows Update, to see whether it now offers
criticals.

"I found the problem: SpywareBlaster was blocking active x controls.
Previously I had uninstalled Blaster but that did not solve the problem,
which led me to believe that it was not causing the problems. But just now I
"remove protection for all items" in Spywareblaster, and now there are no
problems with accessing websites using IE. Thanks for your help.

You are welcome. Good thinking, to revisit SpywareBlaster's settings!

SpywareBlaster will protect against 4000 bad sites that are known to install
malware.
There may still be some parasites in the user's computer.

Hmm, I suppose that makes it like...

As of 6-13-2004, Candlin recently posted.

But the HOSTS file is not a program, just a massive list of sites that
Windows will automatically ignore.
