Active X
Ever since the last Microsoft update to my windows XP I am unable to visit a lot of websites.
I try to click on a page and I get the little box that says click OK to run active X on this page.
I click OK and I get the send error report page and get thrown off the site I was trying for. I get no information from after sending the error report.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I figure it has something to do with the last update I just don't know which one, how to fix it or if its even safe to do so.
The sites are the ones that have cards with graphics on them if that helps.
Thanks!

ok i should be able to help you automatic updates on windows can always be a bad thing so if you have a windows xp disk you should reformat your computer and redo the windows after that when the setup is finished go to the control panel find the section that says perfomance and maintenance and it will bring up a window with a whole lot of tabs at the top find the one that says automatic updates and turn them off this should not happen again..hope i helped

are you using internet explorer? i myself am a hardcore mozilla firefox advocate, i think it's a lot better for most things (there are a few sites that haven't seen that the future is with the fiery fox so they still use scripts that can only run in ie).
which operating system do you have? if you're still on windows 98 (it's possible, believe me, one of my older computers still is ^_^) then it might be that your computer is just too old for the active x to run properly.
if you've got windows 200 or xp, try looking in the internet options (in the tools menu on the top bar) and checking the cookie options but mostly at the security options. there might be something amiss with the active x settings.
if you'd like any more help, just email me with all the basic information about your computer (like os and graphics card, you can find most of the important stuff by right-clicking 'my computer' and clicking 'properties') and also what web browser (and its version) you're using, and i'll be happy to help you out, step-by-step if i can (you can get me on AIM, YM, Gtalk, or skype if you want to).
hope this helped. good luck!
