IE ActiveX suddenly no longer registers??

I have a Windows Vista 32bit system. I use Internet Explorer for one thing, and one thing only - and that is to stream the audio from Green960. Last week, after upgrading to IE9, and after the prompt to upgrade the Flash installation, the streaming audio as well as all Flash applications in IE have stopped working. It says the ActiveX has failed to register. Fortunately, FireFox works just fine, but I need the ability to turn the audio in FF on and off repeatedly on the mixer, which is why I use IE to stream and need to have it back.
I have rolled back my IE installation to IE8, used the Flash uninstaller app and tried to install Flash 10.2, to no avail. My "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" permission is set to "enable."
Has the entire Flash installation for IE gone completely sideways now? I've had this machine since 2008 and there has never been any problem until last week when these updates came down. Must I now become an expert in poking around the system registry, or is there likely a patch coming that will solve this IE-specific quandry?
Many thanks for any help!

Hi, No you don't have to become an expert:-) Just be aware of major changes in Flash Player and IE9.
First, test here with IE and let me know if you can see the Flash logo (Red F) animation(spinning) and what version of Flash Player is displayed: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you can, that would indicate that Flash Player is Installed and working for IE.
Which version of IE are you now using? This makes a difference on what needs to be done next.
Thanks,

This error message means you don't have write permission to the destination folder (the folder where the files are going to be copied to). One reason this happens is that the folder has accidentally been changed in the Lightroom Import dialog box. Please check to see if the specified folder (perhaps different than the folder you had previously used) has WRITE permission and if not, change the permissions.

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
Thanks very much for all your help!
Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

IPod nano (1st generation) no longer registers in iTunes

iPod nano (1st generation...5 years old) no longer registers in iTunes. Music is no longer a viewable option when connected to iTunes through Mac Pro.
Is it just not supported anymore?

Hmmmm...so they are recalling them. Why not just include them in the "updates?"

Heading style is suddenly no longer applied in RH8

My colleague has been using a custom header style with no problems. The other day, the style is suddenly no longer applied in preview.
The project and styled text appear as they should on my computer, but not his.
Coincidentally, an upgrade to Explorer 7 was made prior to the new issue, but not sure why that impacts the preview, and the upgrade doesn't impact the project appearance on my computer.
Does he need to reinstall Robohelp to fix this issue?
Just in case, the style is:
P.01ProcessHeading {
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
margin-bottom: 12pt;
margin-left: 0in;
border-bottom-style: Ridge;
font-size: 18pt;
color: #000000;
border-bottom-width: 2px;
border-bottom-color: #db281c;
font-family: Arial;
The HTML of the styled text is:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="generator" content="Adobe RoboHelp 8" />
<title>01 Adding Allergens</title>
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="..\..\default.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript"
        language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
<p class="01ProcessHeading">Topic Title     <a

           style="border: none;" width="16"
           height="18" border="0" /></a></p>
I wondered if charset=utf-8 might be a problem - mentioned on another forum topic, http://forums.adobe.com/message/1937722#1937722

Hi,
The name of the style starts with numbers. This is invalid CSS and is causing the problems. The best solution is to rename the style (don't use numbers if you can avoid it) and use a find and replace operation to correct the style in your project. (Make a backup first).
Search for all class="01ProcessHeading" and replace it with class="MyNewName".
You can validate your css by using the free W3C CSS validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10 MacOSX 10.6.8 updated to snow leopard&mountain lion I use adobe flash

12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10 MacOSX 10.6.8
updated to snow leopard& mountain lion I use adobe flash. My preferences allow all plug ins.

If my experience with a similarly aged computer is any indicator, you'll notice an immediately speed hit once you've upgraded to Mavericks. Each OS X update tends to be more memory hungry than the previous and my 2007 iMac wasn't happy with Lion until I upgraded the RAM and at that point Lion performance roughly matched Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion and then Mavericks shaved some speed off again. Mavericks on the 2007 iMac was okay for the most part but switching between applications was slow as was the fileselector.
My 2009 MBP saw similar slowdowns with Lion but I was above to upgrade it to 8GB which made a big difference. (My iMac was limited to 6GB) but I still saw a significant speed hit with Mt Lion when I tried to run multiple memory intensive applications. Seeing how my wife's MacBook Air dealt with Mt Lion with only 4GB I decided to install an SSD in the MBP and wow what a difference. Tried it with the iMac using a FireWire800 enclosure and saw similar improvement.
So to boil it down to one sentence, you are going to see a significant speed hit with only 4GB but if you can afford to upgrade your drive to an SSD you'll be amazed at how well that computer can run.

Suddenly I can open only one Firefox window at a time. I can have multiple tabs in that window, but I can suddenly no longer open another window. What happened?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why is Siriusxm suddenly no longer working on safari?

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, include details.

PCs suddenly no longer see Airport Express wireless network - please help!

Hi,
I am new to this forum and I need help. Two days ago - without me making any changes to settings etc. my Airport Express wireless network at home was no longer visible to any of my devices except to the Powerbook (G4 OS 10.3.9) which controls it. From one second to the next two Vista laptops and my cell phone (Nokia, Symbian OS).
My Powerbook has no problem connecting through AE to the internet. The two laptops are both able to connect to other wireless networks so they don't seem to be the problem. I just don't understand what caused this sudden drop-off/invisibility.
I have already tried the following: resetting the base station, changing the channel on the base station (from automatic) removing the network security altogether (from WPA2). But none of the devices except the powerbook can now see or detect my network.
Please - if anyone knows what the cause of this problem could be or how to fix I would be very grateful!!

you name it : com.apple.airport.adminutility.plist
delete it and do as advised.
This isn't harmful, because it is only a preference list, so it will be created brandnew as soon as you re-setup the Airport stuff.
Mac OS X ( especially Jaguar ) has a tendency to corrupt some plists out of the blue, it is more or less harmless and can be fixed with recreating them plus permissions-repair.
Hint : repair permissions more than one time, it ALWAYS finds something to fix in Jaguar.
You cannot destroy something with these actions, because it is Unix maintance so usual routines.
A tool like cocktail or Onyx ( google them, onyx is freeware ) can help you run such ( and more ) routines on a scheduled base.
Always remember that OS X is no longer "the Mac OS", it is Unix with a nice Desktop, the critical things run hidden in the background, so it has to be treated like any Unix/Linux sort of OS, even if from the outside everything looks nice and kosher..

USB devices all of a sudden no longer recognized in windows 7

Hi,
I am using a HP Pavilion Simline s5550nl edition with windows 7 home premium (64-bit) since 1.5 years. Never had any problems until 3 days ago. Since 3 days suddenly some new devices, already plugged-in devices and previously used devices are no longer recognized (USB-device not recognized-error after plug-in).
I used an USB-mouse, USB-keyboard, Smartcard-reader, Sony Story 1.5TB External HDD, USB WebCam. They al worked fine.
3 Days ago I bought a WD Elements 2 TB External HDD. After plugging in, it was not recognized at first. Replugging it in it was recognized, but trying to open the drive in Explorer, it gave a not-formatted-error (while the disk should have been pre-formatted for Windows 7). However, i tried to format the disk, but it could not reach it any more. After rebooting the system the WD elements HDD gave the USB-device-not-recognized-error, using all other USB-ports didn't change that. In fact my Sony External HDD was no longer reachable either. Unplugging and replugging it in gave the same USB-device-not-recognized-error. Trying previously flawless working USB-devices all gave the same USB-device-not-recognized-errors (USB-flash disk 4GB, External HDD 2.5inch 160GB, USB-/card reader HUB, iPhone).
I then tried to connect my Sony and WD external HDD on my other computer with windows XP SP3. They were recognized within seconds and working fine (also the WD elements External HDD indeed turned out to be pre-formatted).
Strangely enough my USB-mouse, USB-keyboard and smartcard-reader kept being recognized at plug-in. Furthermore, my printers (connected over LAN) and NAS (connected over LAN) were usable without any problem. I did not encounter any other problems in functionality of windows. I then thought it might be a corrupted general USB-driver for mass-storage or something, so I started to google this problem. Things I have done so far (before each step I unplugged all USB-devices, rebooted and reconnected the devices):
- Turning computer off, unplug power-cable for 2 minutes, reboot.
- Updating BIOS to version 6.04 (was running version 6.02).
- Uninstalling all USB-devices/mainhubs etc in devicemanagement, automatic reinstallation at restart.
- Try installing newer USB-drivers for mainhubs, messages the installed drivers are already the latest.
- Uninstalling all 'hidden' USB-devices.
- Trying to go back to configuration of 1 day ago (maximum i could go back), resulted in an error that the file might be corrupted.
- Turning computer off, unplug power-cable overnight, reboot.
- Running HP-systemdiagnostics: all passed.
- Running Norman anti-virus scan (latest update): no infection.
- Again uninstalling all USB-devices/mainhubs etc, automatic reinstallation at restart.
I also noticed that during the night before this malfunction appeared (so actually several hours), on january 20th, an automated microsoft critical update was installed (some anti-spyware definition update). I am now thinking it might still be a driver-problem of some sort of general USB-mass storage driver or due to this microsoft update or maybe some clever virus.
I no ordered a Recovery disk (never had to use one, so did not jet own one), to recover windows and if that doesn't help reinstall it. However I hope that anyone can bring up a solution that I am overlooking?
D. Berks

OK, meanwhile I found that only uninstalling the USB2-driver enables the USB-ports again. Uninstalling it makes al devices recognizable, whil reintsalling it immediately makes all USB-devices unrecognizable.
I tried updating the driver to the latest version, deleting it (after reboot an automated reinstall is triggered), but nothing helps. As if soething that stays in the system makes USB2 to corrupt USB-channeling or something.
I strongly believe that it has something to do with the windows-update, but I can nowhere as a question about it to microsoft (will cost 70 euro's!).
Does anybody knows what this could be? Or better: knows of a solution?
Tanks,
D. Berks
