While using IE6, if there is ever an activeX application (like games on
Yahoo! or in my online university outlook email account when I start a new
message) I have to click on it to activate and use it. It didn't used to do
this and it does it no matter what computer I am using. Any suggestions?
 
Are you referring to OWA (Outlook Web Access)?

If you installed it separately, you can uninstall it via Add/Remove in
Control Panel.

More info on this here:

It will be included in the next cumulative security update next month, and
won't be uninstallable then.

I noticed this from tonio:

Hello,

The ActiveX update (secrity update KB912612) does affect Outlook Web Access
2003 too; you get "Click to activate and use this control" trying to reply to
an email for instance.

The ActiveX compatibility patch (KB917425) does fix the issue; however, I
wonder if anyone manages to fix the problem wihtout installing the
compatibility patch or uninstalling the ActiveX update?

Also, do you know if MS will update their OWA 2003 code to get it working
(maybe through an hotix/service pack for Exchange)?

Thanks!

The situation he described is what is happening to me. But, I couldn't find
the kb912612 update on the remove programs list. I installed the kb912945
update but the problem still persists. Will the update next month fix the
problem? Or, is there a way I can fix it manually?
