Default ActiveX will not re-install...

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

Of course, I did thoroughly check my system for viruses after the "update"
first failed about a week ago. The system is clean.

Also, I have several versions of Flash & ActiveX off-line installers, and
they now all fail with the same error (an OSX file fails to register, the
actual file depends on the version), even when anti-virus is disabled. I was
able to install them as needed before without problems.

Typically, I use Spybot when on-line. However, to check the system after the
first failure, I used a number of anti-virus applications that I keep
on-hand and up-to-date. None reported any problems, and all subsequent
attempts to install ActiveX were done off-line with no active anti-virus
software.

Hope that helps.

Spybot is not an anti-virus application. Do you NOT have an (one)
anti-virus application running in the background at all times?

Spybot's two Residents provide only minimal protection, but one of them may
be blocking the ActiveX file from installing. Since you're so familiar with
this stuff, I don't need to tell you anything more, I'm sure.
