Do you have Norton's installed on your PC? Because mine started doing that
once I got Norton's. I"m sur eyou can disable Nortons somewhere, but I don't
know where. Personally, I will be happy when the licence runs out and it
stops working, so I can go back to my trusty AVG anti-virus program. It
worked just fine, and didn't have the nasty habit of popping up unasked-for
in the middle of another program, making that program crash, and nor did it
block my internet sites without being asked to.

Which Norton product are you talking about? I have Norton Systemworks, which
includes NAV. I've been using it for six years with no problems whatsoever.
This IE thing just started a little while ago. I don't think it has anything
to do with whatever Norton product you are talking about.

I have Norton SystemWorks (including NAV) installed, and I have never had
that problem. ActiveX is actually part of Windows. I did a brief search
and found numerous sites that refer to this problem. Here is a page from
within Microsoft that describes the problem. It might be helpful to you --
but, as with many MS problems, there are many entries for you to wade
through.

I have an older PC with Norton A/V installed. When the subscription ran out
(a couple of years ago) it wouldn't let me unsubscribe. This is probably
because there is a critical .dll file damaged on the machine and I haven't
been able to determine which one and replace it (repair didn't work). The
PC will still boot and I can click through the errors, but every 15 days
Norton comes up and asks me to renew the subscription. Apparently it is
also still busily running a scan every week on the hard drive LOL The only
reason I still have that machine running is some of my best recipes are on
it. I'm still transferring them to this one.

Why not simply uninstall NAV?

Due to the damaged .dll file it won't let me uninstall. Trust me, I've
tried. I got so frustrated trying to fix this PC I finally gave up and just
bought another one LOL

If something like this happens again, a cheaper fix (unless you simply want
or need a new computer) would be to reformad your HD and reinstall programs.
Obviously, back up all data first. In fact, I am a firm believer of
Murphy's Law, so I routinely make *three* backups and alternate the disks.

Try www.webshots.com Free account. Active X - sounds like you don't have a
necessary plug-in installed. Does it ask if you want to install something?
