View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the XP Auto Update feature set to notify me of available updates but not to download or install. After installing the latest driver, the 93.71 version I'm getting the Notification Icon on the task bar telling me an update for the Nvidia Card is available, version 52.16, I guess the basic update that was downloaded as part of the SP3 update.Is there a way to dismiss this update so that it doesn't continue to appear? For some reason the auto update doesn't recognize there is a newer driver available, the WHQL 93.71.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have White Box on my Desktop In Upper-Left Corner of my screen that I cannot delete or otherwise remove. I am running Windows XP, and McAfee and Ad-Aware say I have no viruses. In trying to get rid of this box I have discovered that I can expand and reduce the size of the box from the lower right hand corner, and if I drag a web page shortcut icon from my desktop over the box, the web page is displayed. When a web page is being displayed inside the box there are scroll bars on the right and bottom sides to scroll around the web page. If I click on a hyperlink within the box, my default web browser is opened to the link. At first I was using IE, and then I switched to Firefox, and it made no difference. Periodically, the web page being displayed inside the box will disapear, along with the scrolling bars, leaving behind a white box.
When there is a web page being displayed in the box I can right click on the box and I get a menu with the following options: Back, Forward, Save Background as, Set Background, Copy Background, Set as Desktop Item, Select All, Paste, Create Shortcut, Ad to Favorites, View Source, Print, Refresh, Export to Microsoft Excel, Print, Properties. Some of these items are grayed out. If I select properties, there is a "General" tab with the name of the web page, Protocol Info, Type, Connection, Address, Size, Created, Modified. There is a Certificates button at the bottom in addition to OK and Cancel buttons.
I am trying to open my active desktop, but I get a message that says IE cannot locate my active desktop html file. I need to find out how to fix this problem.

I haven't been to this site for a while and I noticed I'm getting Security Warnings that my security settings has blocked of an ActiveX install. I know how to change those settings, but am reluctant to do so. Can anyone shed some light on this. I occasionally will get similar warnings on other sites, but it is consistant on this one. Once in a while IE6 will hang up on this and I'll have to got to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of it.

View 1 Replies View Relatedmany of the security holes found in software (especially Microsoft Windows) might have been deliberately put there as back doors into our computers for easy access by our governments. I guess my question is this.Will total, absolute, 100% security ever be possible or will our government always demand a back door in? It just seems that if any back door exists, it will eventually be discovered and exploited.

I can't figure out what Active X is, or if I should allow it. I read about how Firefox doesn't use or allow Active X. I assume there's a security problem somewhere, but I just don't understand. What if I don't allow Active X? Do I miss some things?

Problems running activeX on my computer. used to get a yellow bar at the top of my screen asking if I wanted to run active X does not come up anymore and can not get some programs to work without it. Also can not download from a link directly without having to right click and save target as.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhile trying to send free email birthday card, when it opened got a box that said click for active x, when I did got another msg that said there was an error and it cleared the card.
I know that there is an area in th system for active x, but I cannot recall how to locate it to see if there is an item that needs to be enabled.
Whenever I go to 2 webpages/websites a little warning pops up saying click to run as Active x control on this webpage. Doesn't do it anywhere else. What do I need to do so this will stop popping up.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSome webpages take forever to load and sometimes don't respond at all. I figured, maybe wrongly, that my Active X Contols are not set to get the most out of the internet since I usually get a little notice at the top of the page saying my Active X settings won't allow this or that.
How do I make sure my Active X controls are set so I can get the most out of the internet?
And if it's not Active X, I'd like to find out what it is.
Can not down load any active x programs

I have no idea whether this is an appropriate question, whether it is related to XP,SP2. On the internet I frequently get an Active X error message. I understand that to solve the problem I should change my
security setting from HIGH to MEDIUM. Is that worth doing? Should the
security setting be as high as possible?
