Hi
We cannot log into msn messanger,passport or our hotmail
accs it doesnt recognise the account names or anything
else. We cannot get updates and the reasons given are
activex controls not allowed under our security settings.

I have tried everything I know but it doesnt rectify
problem other than to now say only administrators can log
into update sites/we are both administrators and just
will not sign into msn.

Please help
 
Here's some infomation and links on Secure Sites, Windows Update
Administrator error and last of all activex - hope some of it is of
assistance to you.


In Internet Explorer -
1. Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
2. Scroll down to the Security Settings.
3. Make sure that the two boxes are checked that say
"Enable SSL 2" or "Enable SSL 3".
Try your secure sites.

Another thing you can try is:

Go to start/run
Type in: regsvr32 softpub.dll
