Vista - Activex not alloved in vista ultimate ?

Hi Group,

I have two problems, but basicly i beleive they are really the same.
When trying to download from microsoft downloadcenter, it wants to
validate genuine windows. it stops with the now familiar top line
normally saying, that it will not run activex - but in XP it would have
an option to allow this activex. Now i only get one option - further
info.
Security settings doen not allow websites to use activex.
I event tryed to put *.microsoft.com in trusted sites.
i also tryed (in IE 7) to relax everythin about activex...

Same thing happens when i try to install a digital signature from the
internet.

ultima 32 bit edition.


Any suggestions ?

:-) Freddy

Hi Carey,

Thnx for the tip - i did not know that link.

Hi,

Just to tell that there are two solutions..

1. Use the real administrator
There is an administrator user, but it is disabled. It is possible to
enable this account vy:
right click cmd.exe, run as administrator
net account administrator /active:yes
net user administrator "chose a password"

That user do not have problems with activex, just like XP it will ask
to run the component.

2. The one companies will chose to struggle with:

Not for the faint of heart :-)
