Since I am running windows xp x64 Edition I have noticed that in internet Explorer I no longer see the infobar with the message "This site might require the following ActiveX control: ...." from certain sites. The problem is that I don't have the opportunity to install the activex control to show the content of these sites. I have also installed internet explorer 7 hoping that this would solve the problem but without luck, making me think that this is related to the operating system? This problem is very annoying and so problematic that if I don't get this solved soon I would have to reinstall windows which hopefull this is my last option.

You do realize that there are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IE in XP Pro x64 don't you? Which one are you using?

Make sure you are using the IE32 not IE64. Links from OE launch IE64. On IE32 you will have the infobar 1 time for each activex control that is not on your system, if you agree to install them, the message will no longer appear and the installed activex control will be used by the page. On IE64, you should get the message each visit as the installs are not available to IE64 pages.

Oh my god, I finally figured out what the problem was, this took me an entire day to solve it: I was running under an account with limited privileges and apparently you don't get to see the infobar when you do. When I choose either the 32-bit or 64-bit version and "Run As..." an account with admin privileges I would get to see the informationbar. The last couple of weeks I have been running under this limited account as microsoft recommends this for security reasons. But I have so many problems with all kinds of software: - games that have anticheat protection don't work - Can't use nero or any other burning software to burn CD's/DVD's because you need admin rights to access these low level drivers - Several third party applications simple don't launch without telling why - ... I just hope that once windows vista will be released we won't have the same problems. Because this will push users into falling in the same bad habits of running accounts with higher privilegs just to make the software work. -- Gabriel Lozano-Morán The .NET Aficionado http://www.pointerx.net "John Barnes" <jbfoofy@email.net> wrote in message news:Oahh98zjGHA.5036@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Make sure you are using the IE32 not IE64.

What program are you talking about? I think I needed to install an update though.

Maybe they rely on 32-bit drivers? >I just hope that once windows vista will be released we won't have the same >problems.
