Active X Control Game Problem! Please Help!

fwbs · 08-04-2008, 01:09 PM

For some reason, I cannot play games anymore on myspace. It keeps telling me a yellow bar should appear asking me if I want to install active x controls, however, even though I have no pop up blocker activated, and all my active x controls are enabled, and in doing a test on the computer, a program identified that they are indeed there, and installed…. It still doesn’t work, allowing me to play games, like I was doing with no problems just 4 days ago.
What do I have to do to fix this problem, it happened once before and I was able to fix it, but for some reason I cannot figure out how to do it this time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

You will get this message if there is an updated ActiveX Control. Did you try installing the ActiveX Control when asked?

The solution was doing a system restore on my computer. Once I did this, everything was back to normal.

Sorry the answer to the question was no, the computer never asks me that, nor does the yellow bar at the top ever show up, even with the pop up blocker disabled.
