{RESOLVED}active x problems
Help! I am having a problem downloading anything. I get an error message that says, "The plugin did not initialize properly", then when I click again I get another message, "The plugin was found but an error in the plugin has occured."
I am baffled. I have checked the active x controls and am not sure what each one should be set at. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am trying to download one of the music sites. I have tried to download games also and the same error comes up. It is very frustrating.

Thank you for your answers to my question. I am still having problems with Active X. I was wondering if you could tell me what the settings are in the Active X controls page. I am not sure if they are right. If I have to download an Active X control I would really like to know specifically which one I have to download. This is all very confusing to me. I have only had the problem for the last little while. I used to be able to download things with no problem at all.

I forgot to mention that sometimes the quicktime thing does come up. I did have Quicktime but had problems with it not working so I uninstalled it.
Hi,
Did you try deleting the 'Extension' subkey, as explained in the link Bryan provided?
Because that might well be responsible for your problem.
Or try this:
Create a new Text file on you desktop, and paste the following bold text into it:
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Plugins\Extension]
Save as Extension.reg
Doubleclick it, and answer 'yes' when asked whether you want to merge the contents of the file into the registry.
Reboot.
With a little bit of luck this ought to solve your problem.
Good luck,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I did as you said and deleted the extension. I was able to download Internet Explorer 6. Hopefully there is no problem with it. It is always something with computers but it sure is a challenge trying to figure them out.
If I have any more problems you can guarantee I will be back to this site. I have been looking for a solution to this problem for quite a while. Thanks again.
