ActiveX Not Supported
Can someone help please.
I have long advocated the use of the free on line AV scans (does no harm to double check now and again) but today I can't access any of them. Tried Panda, trend, Bitdifender and Kaspersky to no avail. This problem arose apparently in a dispute between EOLAS and Microsoft as to how ActiveX was used on certain sites/programs. American Courts found in favour of EOLAS forcing Microsoft to amend its systems Their would seem to be a problem for 98/Me users who utilise the Automatic Update Facility within Windows. There was a problem with download KB912812 reference to the case mentioned above affecting ActiveX. A temp fix KB917425 was soon offered up to users of Windows XP SP2 to rectify the problem. Unfortunately I can't find either ref on my computer.As so many programs utilize ActiveX now I'm at a loss as to how to rectify the problem. Read one post from a 'techy' who tried reformat/reinstall for a client which did not resolve.

All the 'Eolas' patch does is require that the user make an extra
mouse-click - it has not generally caused any problems in WIn9x (although it did cause problems for some users of XPSP2) there is almost certainly something else wrong with your PC - usually the settings in the Security/Privacy section are the cause of such problems. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Hobbit via WindowsKB.com" u14914@uwe wrote in message news:60f667f10508a@uwe...

Hi Noel
Thanks for the reply some links I found yesterday. Gave up after almost 10 yrs straight trying to resolve. http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1146087081 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=912812 unfortunately can't find microsoft forum page where KB912812 is discussed at length. This all happened in April. Only came accross the problem yesterday though.

Hmm - I think the guys in that thread are barking up all sorts of wrong
trees. All the AV sites have re-written their code (where applicable) for the patch, and run happily on all the PC's I've thrown at them with the patch installed. You're probably better asking this in the dedicated windowsupdates newsgroup - or even phoning MS direct, as support for Security patch problems is free. What concerns me, though is the apparent 'delayed action' of your problem - the path was installed early April, and it's now late May, yet the problem has only just surfaced. This would tend to indicate that it's not the patch itself, but a third-party 'something' that's interfering..... what have you installed onto the system lately - either hardware or software?? Have you had any software problems? any virus/malware problems?? I assume that you've uninstalled all early versions of Sun Java? (NOT just installed the latest version - which doesn't uninstall the older ones!) Did you check the licks off the MS page? - specifically http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909738/ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909889/ -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Hobbit via WindowsKB.com" u14914@uwe wrote in message news:60f73d7d689b7@uwe...

This is not unusual - Hotfixes don't appear in the Add/Remove list unless
they are uninstallable -and many aren't If you want to check what's actually installed (and whether it's installed properly) - use Belarc Advisor (www.belarc.com) AFAICT, there's nothing in that link that you don't already know from the links that I gave you, and that you had already posted -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Hobbit via WindowsKB.com" u14914@uwe wrote in message news:60f85de8177fe@uwe... found the forum page I referred to earlier. http://www.microsoft.com/communities...xp=&sloc=en-us could try the above, though not very computer savy.19052006 Strange my WU History tells me all updates installed however can't find them in Add/Remove or anywhere else?????
