Check the security settings in Internet Options for potential conflicts.

I am receiving this error code when using Internet Explorer 8 with Windows Vista. I have tried to revert back to IE7 and it shows a similar error code but mentions active x.

I have went through and adjusted all of the internet security settings. I have went to adobes site and looked through their help section. i uninstalled adobe the way adobe recommended and reinstalled it manually.

I went to manage add ons to ensure that shockwave flash was enabled. I have enabled all of the active x controls in the advanced settings. I am still getting this error code.

I am taking an online computer through myitlab.com and contacted their tech support and they failed to mention anything else to try. I followed all of their recommended settings. I set up the websites in the trusted sites area and still get this error code.

My windows vista is a student edition that is 32 bit. Is this a windows vista problem? I have no idea what else to try.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi jonpridgen,

Try reviewing the following article:

If that doesn't resolve the problem, then try the following two procedures in the order presented:

Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

I hope this helps.
