Hi Cazza,

Others have reported symptoms similar to those that you describe after
having installed the October update KB896688. The Resolution for this appears
in this MSKB article:

ActiveX controls may not load as expected in Internet Explorer due to
defense in depth changes introduced in cumulative security update 896688
(MS05-052)

Patti,

I have the same problem as Cazza, but when I followed your instructions the
problem remained. I hope you still have access to this thread and can help
me, thanks for any effort on my behalf.
