SYMPTOMS
If I browse the Internet with 64-bit Internet Explorer 6.0
on a 64-bit Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, and I
view a Web page that contains a 32-bit ActiveX control, I
am prompted to install the ActiveX control (Flash 7). When
I attempt to install the ActiveX control, the installation
process is unsuccessful. Although the activeX control acts
like it is being installed, is not installed.

CAUSE
This behavior can occur because 32-bit ActiveX controls do
not work on 64-bit Internet Explorer 6.0 that has been
installed on 64-bit Windows XP-based computers.
RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, run the Iexplore.exe program
from the Syswow64 folder. This procedure installs the 32-
bit version of Internet Explorer into your computer.

HOW DO I DO THIS. PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION.
 
Jon,
I am in doubt that you are really using the "64-bit" XP ......
