ActiveX Control IE6

can someone help or point me to where I can find out why I can't download my game on iwon.com it keeps telling me to install ActiveX Control from the drop down menu and there is no yellow drop down menu there use to be don't no what happen to but I can't download without it ..

thank you

 

bobm735--I suspect that message is not telling you to install ActiveX. Rather that your security settings do not permit ActiveX controls to run. That game may require ActiveX controls to run.
IE Tools|Internet Options|Security tab|Custom Level| set "Run ActiveX controls and plugins" to Enable.
Or put the site into Trusted Sites. (uncheck the box "Require Server verification... ") I assume you do trust that site to not give you spyware.
Having said all that, I get messages like that from time to time and the issue really is not ActiveX controls. Could be your firewall. Or your Popup Stopper. The latter usually can be quickly disabled by holding down Control at the time you click to download the file.
P.S. Do you run SpywareBlaster or some similar program that stops the download of Browser Helper Objects? They are ActiveX controls.

 

Activex Control IE6

Jim, I did all what you posted right to the letter and delete my spyware gaurd, Put site in (Trusted Site in security ) turned firewall off ,In security settings I enabled ActiveX controls to run set Run ActiveX controls and plugins" enable. In fact all the ActiveX controls are set at enable . And also went into add and remove and took out SpywareBlaster . And I held down on ctrl to disable my popup stoppers . And I still get the error message and it won't download so I can play.

thank you

 

bobm735--I am sorry to hear that. I have no more ideas.
I suggest you reenable SpywareBlaster, your firewall, and your Security settings. Of course that will not help you solve the problem, but your PC will not be vulnerable to spyware from other sites.
I know nothing about iwon.com. Does it offer a Contact Us link so you can ask them?

 

ActiveX control IE6.0

Thanks Jim for all your help , Here is where I'm at I was on windows xp sp2 support last evening for 2 hours and they did everything under the sun to fix it and can't there sending it on to higher engenners and they would call me back within 72 hours . Mean while I'll just can't play the prize machine on www.iwon.com yes I will reload spyware gaurad and blaster I have firewall turned back on . And when I hear if I do anything from Microsoft I will post it.

 

Hi
I'm not familiar with iwon either. I cannot even get to the site. its added to my hosts file, to prevent access.
a quick Google search iwon + spyware might lend a few clues

 

Try going to tools/internet options/advanced/and under Security check the box: Allow active content to run in files on my computer.

tryed this did not work

thank you

 

bobm735--Maybe you are lucky you could not get that download to work.
A search on Google for "iwon spyware" produces many scary references

I presume you run an uptodate virus detector. Have you run AdAware or SpybotS&D (with latest reference files)?

 

Iwon.prize machine

I check everything - no Aornum.exe on my computer and no Iwon Machine pluse or Iwon.pluse in my add and remove. Yes I run spyware all the time Add aware, spybot and PestPatrol. and I have spywareblaster running all the time .

thank you

 

Hi bobm735

SpywareBlaster is a set it and forget it type protection, no need to have it running. read its help file when you have time.

I thnk you missed my point, its not safe to visit any iwon websites period !
much less download from there.

 

visit iwon.com

Yes I got what you met

thank you

 

Have a similar problem in a computer I'm working on now...have been through all the things mentioned above, and a few more, and still cannot get Active X to work, to run an online security scan ( I suspect spyware/ malware is disabling the active X in an effort to conceal and protect itself) I am not getting a prompt to install Active X, just errors and failures and "nuthin'!" I'll be following this thread with interest, and if I stumble onto something, I'll share it. Meanwhile, Bobm735, please let me know if you solve your problem. I would love to fix this computer for this lady and then never answer another telephone call from her again! (Yes, that bad!)

Thank you

 

Iwon.com and ActiveX

Hi Bobm735,

I've been having the exact same problem as you when it comes to the prize machine from Iwon.com.

I've tried everything. The only thing I hadn't tried yet, which I just did was to remove WindowsXP SP2.

Once I removed this support pack and rebooted my PC, I was able to successfully, once again, start using iwon's prize machine.

All my apps and utilities that I had installed on the PC continue to work without any errors from removing SP2. And, it sounds like we had some of the same ones there too.

It's nice to have my iwon back. I hope this helps.
