Mine is fixed!

after 4 days with emails to Microsoft, i was sent a fix.zip file and I
installed that and my Active X works!! I would gladly send the file if anyone
else thinks they can use it! I now see my Add/Remove Programs and I can
download. I received this message today from Microsoft:
<<fix.zip>>

Thanks for the email. I did intensive research today and discussed this
issue with our colleagues. Finally, we found the solution. Please save the
file fix.zip to your hard disk and extract the file fix.reg. Double click
fix.reg to merge the information into the registry. Restart the machine to
see if this issue stops. Thank you.

(Now, if you can tell me how to get you the fix.zip file it may help a lot.)

 

In whatiswrongnow <> had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

As it is a .reg file you can right click on it, select edit, copy the text,
and paste it in response to this (or another) message so that you're
actually pasting the contents.

Example formating might be...

Start copy/paste below this line

<insert the body of the registry file>

End copy/paste above this line, save in notepad, rename to fix.reg, double
click the fix.reg file and merge when prompted.

could you send me the file as i have huge issues with this active x and i
dont know, but it may help?

 

Can you send fix.zip file to me. I have the same problem with you>
Thanks.
My email address is:

 

I don't understand exactly how to open the file..I am not too sure what I am
doing. I see the file in C but when I click to open it just asks if I want it
to change the registery. Perhaps I can send the zip file to someone else and
they may know how to post it. I will try to the address below...

 

I will send you the fix.zip file that fixed my computer. I have Windows 2000
so I hope it works with all. Perhaps you could post it somehow here..I don't
understand how to do it!

 

if you could send it to i would be very greatful

 

Can you send me the file? My email is .
Thank you Anthony

 

I just sent the zip file to you.

 

alright guys, if you are having trouble with activex it is due to patch
KB896688. I uninstalled it and the other patches that came after it in
chronological order(the ones that it said it would break). If you cannot get
this "fix.zip" and don't know how to uninstall it, email me and I will help
you fix it. gigabite1123(at)hotmail.com
whatiswrongnow, can you please send me the zip file through email so I can
see what they are changing?

 

Can you send the zip to

I'll post it here if I get it.

 

I could not even see the Updates due to the fact that my Add/Remove Programs
was a blank. I kept asking the Microsoft person how to just uninstall. He
would not tell me but sent me that file. I will send you the zip file. You
can send your address to me if you don't want to post it. mine is
. I would be glad to send it to you.

 

I just sent you the zip file. Hope you can help.

 

Open notepad.

Copy the following test into the main window between the ************.

Any MVPs in here care to comment on this thread?
Specifically:

1. How does one send "emails to Microsoft" and get a
response?

2. Is MS really in the habit of sending out files (with
names like "fix.zip" no less)?

Hi, Can you send me the fix.zip and I'll try it on our servers. We have the
same problem as yours.
my email addre: is

Thanks a lot.

 

I kept all correspondence from the last four days with Microsoft.
It was from RE: Microsoft Support Incident. They send me the file. If you
wish, I will send you the entire emails of four days for you to decide. I
never used a computer until I was over 50 and all I know is I contacted
Microsoft Support. Someone answered.

 

That's the content of the "fix.zip" mentioned in here?
If that's correct, a plain "regsvr32 ole32.dll" might work as well.
OTOH, a new version of ole32.dll is included in KB902400 which has
been released on the last patch day too. The conclusion would be,
that KB896688 is *not* the culprit for the ActivX problems, but in
fact KB902400.

Could anyone who received the "fix.zip" form "whatiswrongnow" confirm,
that the problems don't exist anymore after merging the REG file into
the registry (and after an possibly neccessary reboot of the machine)?

TIA,
Freudi

 

I emailed Microsoft Support. I kept all emails between myslef and Microsoft.
If you would like, I will forward the entire emails. The did send me the
fix.zip and it worked.

 

Could you please send me the file? Just hit "relpy to sender" ;-)

TIA,
