RandyL Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 There are a lot of possibilities here but first I would ask you if they work in IE 7 after you uninstall IE 8?

mamayoda Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 this has happened a few times b4 but has righted itself within an hr but this time it wont Quote
RandyL Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 OK you can't get it to work in IE7 either. I'm going to assume that you have not recently installed any security software that is blocking them. I would like you to check something. My instructions are for IE7 but it should be pretty much the same for IE8 I hope. It sounds like your settings may have been changed in IE7 and it's been carried over to IE8. Go to Internet Options in the Control Panel or right click the IE icon on your desktop and select Properties to get the same thing. Click on the Security tab at the top then click on the Custom level... Scroll down to the ActiveX controls and plug-ins area. Scroll down more to the Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins. Tick Enable. Tick OK. Tick OK Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.

mamayoda Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 they are enabled thats the prob....theyre enabled but ie says theyre not Quote
RandyL Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 If I understand you right you mean the add-ons are enabled in the Manage add-ons. Internet Properties>Programs>Manage add-ons Toolbars are indeed add-ons and need to be enabled there. But they also need ActiveX enabled as I described to work. Please check both areas.

mamayoda Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 yes hun but the activex is showing as enabled too Quote
RandyL Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 OK try going to add/remove programs and uninstalling the toolbars then reinstall them. Before reinstalling look in Explore>Downloaded program files and remove any related ActiveX controls. Also this might be a good time to ask once again if you have recently installed any security products. Also do you have security such as an antivirus program. If so what? What are the sites that need these ActiveX controls? Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.
