That worked for all of them, BUT none of the fixes there helped
either. Even tried adding the server with the ActiveX to the Trusted
Zone (then the Information Bar should not appear at all, right) but
the message still says that "Could not install ActiveX" :-(

And no matter what I do (reregistering DLLs, checking registry
settings, changing security setting, group settings etc) I still can't
get that Information Bar to show when an ActiveX is to be downloaded
(but since it is not downloaded with zone=Trusted I guess the
Information bar is not the problem - ActiveX is blocked otherwhere)

On tip mentioned a "XP repair install" but how big a mess-up is that
(will much of my system look, setup etc by reset to standard XP)?

And how do I initiate a repair install...

Added "microsoft.public.windowsupdate" to the list, since I have
noticed that most people get into this error when using Windows Update
(because they then can't install and run MS own update ActiveX :-)
