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?

How would that happen when they are not running, e.g. during offline installlation attempts? Thread history: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...e94bcb95f02615 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.

"Neil Gould" wrote in message ... 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.

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? 9996 wrote: NO "Neil Gould" wrote in message ...

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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Roger Fink" wrote in message ...

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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Roger Fink" wrote in message ...

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. Bruce Hagen wrote: I use message rules, but Blocked Senders has the same result. You want to block the latest poster.
