Total ActiveX rejection - Windows XP SP2

I cannot access any site with Active X after doing a rebuild with the latest
version of Windows XP SP2.

If I go to http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/ (try and run scanner) OR
to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/of...e/default.aspx (try and run
check for updates) I get the tool bar:- "This site might require the
following ActiveX control: Name. From: Publisher. Click here to install..."

So click install Active X

Then I get "Your security settings do not allow Web sites to use ActiveX
controls installed on your computer. This page may not display correctly.
Click here for options…"

I cannot get passed this? I have put all security settings in IE to low,
enabled everything..... then after installing other software etc I stopped my
firewalls (hardware and software) even stopped Antivirus on the off chance!!

Nothing!!

Even found a site that said they had solved the issue by:-
> 1. Click Start ->Run and type "regsvr32 Softpub.dll" (without double
> quotes)
> 2. Click okay to register it
> 3. Do the same re-registration process with the rest of these .dll files:
>
> regsvr32 softpub.dll (as mentioned above)
> regsvr32 wintrust.dll
> regsvr32 initpki.dll
> regsvr32 urlmon.dll
>
> 4. Restart your computer and try the update site again (or other sites
> requiring ActiveX to be enabled).

Also tried:-
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then OK.
2. At the command prompt, type the following commands, and press ENTER after
each command:
regsvr32 /u softpub.dll
regsvr32 /u wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /u initpki.dll
regsvr32 /u dssenh.dll
regsvr32 /u rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 /u gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 /u sccbase.dll
regsvr32 /u slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 /u mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /u cryptdlg.dll
exit
Note Click OK if you are prompted.

Note Microsoft Windows 2000 does not include the Sccbase.dll file. If you
are running a version of Windows 2000, omit the Sccbase.dll file.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
5. At the command prompt, type the following commands, and press ENTER after
each command:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 mssip32.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
exit
Note Click OK if you are prompted.

Still did not work - Anyone any ideas?

Hi,
A recent security update may be causing this. Here's a repost of a message
from PA Bear:

Hello,

Thank you for your quick reply!!!

I tried the first bits in No.1 and unfortunately that did not work, I did
not try number 2 as it points me to:- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216434/
and it the bottom where is states what it applies to it does not cover
Internet Explorer 6.

Any other ideas that might help? Should I do point 2 anyway (presume it will
cause no harm to my pc?)

Thanks!!

Hi,
This script should be safe and will only offer a fix if the registry values
are incorrect:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/kb896688_fix.zip (KB896688_fix.exe; a small
VB app that checks the 4 values and offers a repair option if any of them
are incorrect)

Other possibilities:
Place those sites in Trusted Sites with a wildcard, such as:
*.crucial.com
*.microsoft.com

A longshot, but try...
Internet Options> Advanced> Security> check "Allow active content to run in
files on My Computer ."

4 values are correct, added both to trusted site and still no luck (however
it did seem to take longer to say no - I thought it was working!!)

And the *allow active content to run in files on My computer was already
ticked.....

Could this be something more to do with Windows than Internet Explorer - I
have no idea, just trying to figure it out!!

Thanks for the help so far!!!

Hi,
In Internet Options> Security> Trusted Sites> Sites, "Require server
verification" should be unchecked.

Internet Options> General> Temporary Internet Files> Settings> View Objects,
choose Details view. Remove any "damaged" objects. Remove any objects from
crucial.com or microsoft/office update.

Are you sure that a third-party security/ad-blocking program isn't blocking
scripts, scripting, active content?

"Require server verification" was and is unchecked.

Remove any "damaged" objects. Remove any objects - nothing was listed as
damaged and nothing from microsoft or crucial listed at all, just the
following:-
Java Runtime Enviroment 1.5.0 (3 0f them all the same version, one 4KB, the
other 2 noneKB)
MsnMessenger SetupDownloadControl Class
Shockwave Active Control
Shockwave Flash Object
Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool

All of these have the status of "Installed"

3rd party products that could be causing problem (but where on my other pc
before I did a rebuild on this one, so should not be) are:-

Microsoft Antispyware
AVG Free Edition Antivirus
Linksys Wireless router (this lets my old pc download activeX and my work
Notebook)

I turned off the above 2 and still could not get it to work - however I was
not asked if I wanted to install ActiveX ("This site might require the...")
on the toolbar, it just went straight to "Your security settings do not allow
Web sites to use ActiveX......"

Same thing when I activeted them again.......on the office.microsoft update
site I am not even getting the notification tool bar anymore, it gets to 10%
then stops.

Thanks for the help!!!

Hi,
Try deleting the Temporary Internet Files folder for the affected user
account. Make sure that you can see hidden files (Folder Options> View) Then
login as another user with administrator privileges, or from the machine's
default administrator account (startup in safe mode) and delete the affected
TIF folder from Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files]

315222 - A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=315222

You would not be able to delete this folder when logged in as
yourself- it's "In use." You should be able to delete it from the
Administrator account.

It's often recommended that the TIF folder size be set to about 50 MB.
That's set at Internet Options> General> Temporary Internet Files> Settings.

Also, delete any cookies from Microsoft or Crucial. In Internet Options>
Privacy, set the slider to Accept all (briefly- as a test ) or put these two
sites in the Always allow list.

Hope this helps,
Don
