1 right click on the Internet Explorer information bar. It is located just below the address bar.
2. in the context menu, click install ActiveX control.

Note: If the information bar does not appear, or if you have installed the control but still cannot use the website to take these steps to solve the problem.

Example: Internet Explorer information with the menu bar

but I never see the bar to activate the active X what's the problem?

Windows Defender is an anti-spyware application, not an antivirus application: you must both be installed. But it is too late to install one now.

  • Error code: C000009A (problems applied update registry during the installation of Windows 7 Service Pack 1)

    After installation of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, the system restarts, and before windows comes up the registry is updated.  I get an error C000009A 128115 of 387921 enforcement update (/ registry)... error that prevents the system to reboot.  Is it possible to get the system to reboot and complete the installation of the service pack.  The only way that I was able to work around this error is to restore from the system restore point before the service pack, but I want to apply the SP1 if possible.  ????

    Windows update and SP1 gave me the same problem and I used this hole day to RESOLVE.

    Windows 7 is not bootable. Safe mode Windows 7 was not bootable, - stop at classpnp.sys.  I used the line of command of the rescue disk and Linux (!) to fix it.  And then little important reading / advice on this forum.

    Error message at startup:

    C000009A application update 262832 (registry\ma 109544 operation error   (no more room on screen)

    After a few reboots failed, I tried a restore of windows rescue disk, but windows update has somehow erased all my restore point! (Argh)

    Then I looked in the log file c:\windows\winsxs\poqexec.log and found a reference to the error: (obs this folder has some 70,000 + files)

    Then I tried to add this key in the registry using regedit command line after booting from the rescue floppy.  But repeated boots showed this register does not have / save my extra key. (Strange-I should be able to change the shape of the hot spare register, or?)

    Next step was to start a live CD of Linux (Mandriva) to browse the windows system drive.

    This way, I found the c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml (99 MB) file and may open in kwrite (Linux).  I'm looking for "atibility.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_pt - pt.
