How Can I Fix Activex Errors?

January 19th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

There is nothing worse than browsing the web—researching airfare for your next vacation, buying tickets for tonight’s show, watching a news video—and then getting interrupted with an error message such as, “Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.” Or you could be checking your email or downloading music when an ActiveX error pops up. When these errors occur you may be left frustrated and asking yourself, “What is ActiveX, and how can I fix it?” It turns out that your PC is not really in need of an ActiveX repair, but a registry repair.

What is the Registry?

The registry is like a low-level operators manual for your Windows operating system. It stores information and settings for basic functions—its almost like a dictionary. Every time you right click on your mouse for example, your computer accesses the registry, which will “define” the action and tell the computer what to do. The registry has information that is native to the operating system, but this dictionary can also be added to or overwritten. In the event you install a new mouse for example, new information might be added, or old settings might be replaced. An easy way to know if your registry has been altered in any way is if you are required to re-boot your computer (typically after installing new hardware or software).

What is Active X?

Computers allow us to do a lot more than just click a mouse however, and that’s where ActiveX comes in. Certain programs like Microsoft Office, Windows Media Player, or Internet Explorer require very advanced functions, and are constantly changing and upgrading. One way to look at it is that these programs have advanced so much beyond the basic building blocks, they no longer speak English. In order to access the basic information contained in the registry (which they need to function), they need a translator. ActiveX is that translator. ActiveX accesses information stored in the registry, and communicates it to these programs so they can function at the next level.

Problem:

ActiveX is often hard at work behind the scenes accessing the registry for information. These efforts usually go unnoticed and go off without a hitch, but you may be unlucky enough to experience an error. Some common errors are:

• When ‘Downloading ActiveX Control’ your Internet Explorer freezes

• Runtime Error ‘429?: ActiveX Component Can’t Create Object

• Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.

These errors are frustrating but one can see why they might occur. What’s happening is that ActiveX is trying to access the registry, or “dictionary.” But the dictionary has become overcrowded and altered beyond recognition. Picture this: There are now two or three different definitions listed instead of only one. Someone has pasted over sections with new information, and the original text can’t be found. Pages have gone missing, and information has been misfiled. The dictionary is now virtually useless. You are now in desperate need of registry repair.

Solution:

One solution would to go out and buy a new computer (i.e. purchase a new dictionary). Not only is this not a realistic solution financially, but all that new and valuable information would be lost. The ideal solution is to flip through and edit the entire dictionary, page by page. Fortunately, this solution is offered via a software called Reg Cure. Reg Cure is a registry cleaner that uses the most sophisticated technology available to analyze your registry for missing, obsolete, and corrupt entries. It is a safe, effective way to fix your PC registry errors. You can download Reg Cure and scan your computer for free at RegistryRepairProgram.

    ActiveX error
    ActiveX errors are caused by certain browser settings and misconfigured system files. To fix the problem, please adjust the settings in Internet Explorer by following the steps below:
    1.Click the Tools menu at the top of your browser, and select Internet Options.

    2.Click the Security tab at the top of the dialogue box, and set Medium as the Security level for this zone.

    3.Click Custom Level button and ensure that the following are set to Enabled:

    ?Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins
    ?Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting
    ?Scripting
    4.Click OK after these settings are enabled.

    5.Click OK again to save your changes.

    6.Log in to Gmail again.

    If your browser was already set correctly, it’s likely that you have a misconfigured system file. Here’s how to reset the system file to the default settings:
    1.Click the Start button in Windows.
    2.Select Run.
    3.Enter regsvr32 msxml3.dll in the Open: field, and click OK.

    There are many reasons causing ActiveX erorrs:

    1. A new version of ActiveX might be conflicting with the older version.
    2. u set ur security level too high. Set Medium as the Security level for this zone.
    3. trojans disguise themselves as activex. If you don’t know what the ActiveX component is, never ever accept it onto your machine.

    But its easy to fix ActiveX error:

    1. run registry easy which is top among registry cleaner
    2. click "repair problems" n fix ActiveX error
    3. Everything is done!

    After that, registry easy will look after ur activeX and block malicious activex.
