Active X Control not working?

Tried everything on Adobe Support and yet having problems watching videos
from YouTube and other sites.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Active X Control not working?

What version of Vista?
If business or above, install the ActiveX installer service and then set it as enabled and
automatic.
Add or Remove Programs > Windows Components. ( or the vista equivalent )
I'm not in Vista at the moment.

Control Panel | Programs | Turn Windows Features On and Off | ActiveX
Installer Service.

Re: Active X Control not working?

I am using Vista Home Premiun.

I followed the steps, I do not have "ActiveX Installer Service" on the list
of Windows Features On and Off.

I uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled again, Adobe sites said
Successfuly Installed and played the movie.

Once, I chaged security setting to default, I started getting the pop up
messages "IE has blocked this site from using ActiveX control in an unsafe
manner.

Ok, IE security settings is not my area. Steve might post back with more
suggestions. You might want to post to the internet explorer newsgroup as
well.
