Default ActiveX will not re-install...

Closing/exiting Spybot does NOT disable SDHelper or Tea Timer.

If you don't fully understand what such "system protections" do and how they
do it, best not to enable them in the first place.

And I'd still like to know how this pertains to OE?

Spybot's two Residents provide only minimal protection, but one of

How would that happen when they are not running, e.g. during offline
installlation attempts?

NB: Quote this post in full if you reply to it, otherwise I shall ignore
all further replies.

Being offline has no affect whatsoever on Spybot SDHelper and Tea Timer.

When I wrote "...they are not running...", I meant that I exited Spybot
and
there were no Spybot or any other anti-virus programs' processes running
according to Task Manager.

In
any event, you would not be able to install most ActiveX Controls if the
machine was offline.

I was certainly able to do that before, as I have Adobe's tools for doing
exactly that, and until I ran into this problem, I could install other
versions of ActiveX for testing purposes.

PS: What on earth does any of this have to do with Outlook Express?

Hi all,

I've had the misfortune of having Adobe's "update" destroy my working
ActiveX installation on IE6, and can not get it back even after
meticulously
following all their instructions and various other recommendations, so out
of desperation, I thought I'd ask in the MS news groups as to whether
anyone
else has insights or suggestions to try. The failure is apparently due to
an
OSX file that fails to register, although the correct permissions are set.

Windows 2000 pro SP4... IE6.

TIA,

Neil


Try downloading and using the full installer here, worked for me

Thanks, Steve. I already have this installer, as well as for older versions,
and none of them will load on my system, though they did so prior to my
attempt to update fp10 on-line.

Now, that _is_ curious!

What OS are you running?

Because of its date, I keep deleting this thread, but it keeps on
reappearing every couple of days. Is this on some kind of automated repost?
Can somebody (kindly) delete it permanently?

Nobody here can delete a message from the news server. Put the spammer 9996:

ghjfdjkjdbf v

in your killfile. He/she is responsible. I never saw a thing until your
post.

Thanks - with the spam message open, I did a “Blocked Sender” trick from the
OE Tools menu. Never did this before but I trust that is what you were
referring to.


BTW, my understanding is that I can delete a thread in OE by hitting the
Delete key, and I’ve done that in the past. In this instance however I’ve
been using the Delete icon, obviously without success. Wrong place for this
question, I realize, but shouldn’t they yield the same result?

I use message rules, but Blocked Senders has the same result. You want to
block the latest poster. You say the thread keeps coming back, but it's only
because of a new post. Either method of deleting should have the same
results.

Yes, the “thread” (I should have said “post”, which in case was one and the
same) keeps coming back, but hopefully this has put an end to it.
