Hi PCR Pro, thanks for coming to this thread!!

Never have I had ActiveX problems, downloading the controls. I suspected
something wrong at the SIS site and I did a contact form to the webmaster to
inquire about it. I did Goggle searches about errors removing ActiveX
control errors, *unable to unregister from Windows* is what mine said, but
it did remove. I checked them out thoroughly, the dependent files for the
controls. The main one is the C:\Windows\SiS0000.inf. This is a big file,
I reviewed yesterday and just moments ago. At the bottom section, it has
device description and a list of vendors, for ASUS it is SIS 650, for other
manufs., I saw 650GX. The MB manual clearly reads
Chipset: SIS 650GX
SIS 962L
VGA SIS Real256 Graphics

So, I removed the ActiveX controls like I mentioned and did scanreg /restore
to the morning boot. I don't think those puppies installed completely and
that is why one didn't unregister.

I don't see anything very relevant in those two articles I posted.
http://search.support.microsoft.com/...dv=1&spid=1139 MSKB
Search "ActiveX" does come up with about 20 articles. Perhaps go see.

Could be something wrong with the SiS site, too. Are you set for
"Medium" at "Internet Options, Security tab, Internet Zone"?

I have IE locked up pretty tight, it's my only browser and I utilize my
*safe zone*, settings are low only in safe zone, if I want a activeX
control, I simply put the site in my *safe zone*.

Oh, I did search about ActiveX too at Microsoft, all the error messages,
except for yesterday, have been totally successful w/ActiveX, I do think
it's the SiS site. I was going to try again, but decided not to. The chipset
identification tool just gives me the same info as I can read myself in the
System Info tool, plus all the info is in the display/settings tab/advanced,
I have a SIS info tab that also gives the info.

To suddenly have out of range after installing display software and drivers
and restarting, surely must mean that the drivers are wrong, correct ? I
reverted back and I was fine again. For sure, I don't need that!!

Thanks PCR Pro
