Microsoft Remote ActiveX Control

When I use my Mac notebook through Safari to access my company's server remotely through internet, I got following message:
"This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again"
May I have some advice how should I adjust Safari setting to avoid this? I have same problem with IE, but solved after adjusting some add-on in IE.

I threw out all of my Dells 2 years ago and switch back to Macs after being away from them for almost 14 years. I'm a much happier guy now, however, in my financial planning practice I have to access secure web sites that require IE and ActiveX compatibility. The financial institution web sites are a mixed bag when using Safari, Firefox or any other Mac-compatible browser.
My unfortunate work around is to use Windows XP Pro running on my Mac using VMWare Fusion 2.0. It works great, but everyday I am reminded how clumsy Windows is because it runs all day side-by-side to Leopard on my Macs.
Given the technology today, I am surprised and disappointed that Apple has not added the right stuff to Safari to completely eliminate the business Mac user's dependence on Windows.
For all of my other computing needs, except my ACT CRM (Windows only), I have managed to use the Mac OS apps like iLife, iWork 09, MS Office:Mac 2008 (less and less these days since the release of iWork 09).
I am looking forward to the day when I can delete Windows and related apps from my Macs for good!
Unfortunately for now, serious business users are stuck in the middle and stuck with some sort of method to run Windows software for business-critical apps. Bummer.

The tool used to manually install Active-X controls is
"regsvr32.exe". It usually is installed in your system32
directory and is callable from a command line.
For instance: regsvr32 myactiveX.ocx

How can I install Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control

I am trying to connect to my pc at work from home. This is the message I get.
This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again.
I have looked through all the add-ons available and can't find it to add on. Nor can I find a relevant security setting to change.
I am running firefox 28.0 on Windows 7 Professional.

ActiveX controls are specific to Internet Explorer.

You can try opening Internet Explorer inside a Firefox tab with the following add-on.

Problem with ActiveX control, Microsoft Toolbar Control, version 6.0

Hi everyone,
I built a virtual machine on my desktop and installed Windows and Labview. Everything looks fine. Then when I tried to insert ActiveX control, Microsoft Toolbar Control, version 6.0, in Labview, it says "Class is not licensed for use".
By the way, it works perfectly at my desktop enviroment.
Any idea? Thanks a lot for any help.
Anne

There are two different licenses for those controls: a development license and a run-time license. Did you at some point have Visual C/C++/Basic 6.0 installed? If so, that would have installed the development license. That's the license you're missing on the virtual machine. This KB article discusses this issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318597. It relates to using the controls in Visual Studio 2005, but it applies to LabVIEW as well.

Can't connect to windows 7 machine using microsoft remote desktop connection

I am unable to connect from my home network to the Windows 7 Professional machine at my office, using either Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (2.1.1) for Mac or the open source CoRD program.
When connected to the office network (which is running MS Small Business Server 2011 Standard) both CoRD and MS RDC will connect to my desktop machine just fine! (My MacBook Pro runs Mountain Lion.)
From my home network, MS RDC will complain that it cannot find the Windows computer if I just use the Windows computer name. If I use the Windows machine's iPV4 address, it works on it for a minute and then tosses up this error message:
Using the IP address of the Windows machine, CoRD just grinds away for a minute or so and then times out.
I should add that using Internet Exporer under Parallels from home, I can get a little closer to success (after fidding around with ActiveX controls for a bit). I will get to the Windows login screen, but then I am told that my user password is wrong (which makes no sense at all)!
Okay, geniuses, have at it, and thanks in advance!!

Unable to view external webcam content. I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser. I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Does Safari support/run ActiveX controls?

I need to have Remote Access to my work from my iPad. There is a box that pops up stating "This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls."
Anyway to do this??

The iPad does not support Windows only ActiveX. There are apps that allow you to remotely access your PC such as SplashTop Remote. Check it out in the app store.

Playbook - ActiveX control for accessing MS Workplace

Hi, I am new to BB forums, so please excuse my lack of knowledge on how this works.
I am trying to log on to my work computer using Remote Web Workplace, and it requires ActiveX Control.
Is there a way to install this on the Playbook?
I appreciate any and all help
Thanks
Troy

ActiveX is a Microsoft technology that would not be supported in a QNX (unix) operating system. The browser would have to support this and I will guess that will probably not happen anytime soon.

Print Screen using new Microsoft Remote Desktop app on Mac

I am trying to figure out how to do a screen capture of a window using the new Microsoft Remote Destkop app on my MacBook Pro. I don't have a numeric keypad so the Ctrl+Alt+Minus on the keypad does not work. On the older remote desktop
client there were preferences to remap this but I cannot figure it out on the new app. And the snipping tool is great if connected to an OS that has it. Otherwise it does not help.
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
Please check if you have the PrtScn key on your keyboard. If so, you can use this key to capture a full screen screenshot and paste it such as MS paint.
If you do not have the key, you can start the On-Scrren Keyboard to use the PrtScn Key within the remote session.

Excel VBA - ActiveX Control - MonthView not available under ActiveX Toolbox for Windows 8 64bit MS Office 2010

Hello,
I have Windows 8, 64bit and Office 2010
I am trying to get the 'datepicker' (MonthView) ActiveX control toolbox in Excel 2010 as part of a Excel UserForm I have created. I have spent all day trying to find a solution for my problem.
I opened up the 'more.. ' but the MonthView/datepicker/calendar control is not listed.
I referred to some articles and confirmed that I do indeed have the mscomct2.ocx file in the C:\Windows\syswow64 folder.
I followed the instructions as above, opening up the Administrator Command Prompt and changed the directory to C:\Windows\syswow64 and typed in RegSvr32.
I received a popup screen confirming my registration was successful
Excel was closed. So I opened Excel and checked out the ActiveX Tool box and clicked on the 'More Controls', but there was no listing for the Microsoft MonthView control, (nor datepicker/calendar)
I then downloaded the latest Windows Common Controls 2 6.0 from the following site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381
Copied the original file (2008) and saved it elsewhere on the computer for safekeeping.
Extracted the new mscomct2.ocx.
Under the C:\Windows\syswow64 I changed the original file properties to allow me to overwrite it with the new file. This worked … old file replaced.
I then registered the new file via the Administrator Command Prompt (as above) and was notified that it was successful. I rebooted pc and went back into Excel to find the MonthView in the
ActiveX toolbox, More Controls… and it still wasn’t there …
I would be very grateful if someone could advise how I can get this control and allow me to use it.
If I have left out any information that you need to resolve this issue, please advise.
Cheers,
TheShyButterfly
Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

Hi George,
Thank you for checking this out ... :)
I am using Office 2010 64 bit ...
I found the
mscomct2.ocx file originally within the C:\Windows\syswow64 directory (this was an original file .... which I expect was installed via Microsoft at the time of the Office installation.
As I mentioned above, I followed
the instructions (same as the ones you suggested), but still no go, even though it stated that the registration was successful ! :(
Why weren't these features included in the 64 bit ? ... yes, I read the article ... but ... so MS doesn't think that people/developers would be needing this in due course? I installed the 64bit version because I'm running the Win8 64bit version ...and
I deal with a lot of large spreadsheets and can't afford to sleep whilst they decide to load.
If MS included all the other ActiveX controls and some obscure ones, surely some bright spark could have thought that something as useful as MonthView should be included as 'basic' necessity when dealing with forms and sheets?
Perhaps you could pass the suggestion up the line .... there are a lot of other people out there having the same problem ... I found heaps when I was looking for a solution.
Sorry, I'm not having a go at you, but just incredibly frustrated .... the amount of lost productivity directly cause by trying to find a solution that doesn't exist ... it's been at least a good solid 24 hours.
But thank you for taking the time to review my post and your suggestion. It's unfortunate that because you are part of the organisation ... you tend to cop some slack from frustrated people like myself.
In relation to the pictures/screen dumps, 2 of them made it (I can see them in my post) ... one I deliberately left out because there was nothing on there that showed anything other than the rest of the 'More Controls' - nothing to do with the MonthView.
Please feel free to escalate this to the powers that be ... and hopefully enough people will join the voice so a change can be made (I can dream ... can't I?)
I've taken a screen dump of the Forms/ActiveX toolbox.
I don't know what the next step is ... I guess you'd be able to advise.
Cheers,
TheShyButterfly
Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either

Hi.
I don't know if this is the right forum for my problem.
Anyway,
I have a problem with my Windows Services.
Each time when I launch Windows Services window, I get a warning:
One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either:
1. your current security settings prohibit running activex
controls on this page, or
2. you have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
as a result, the page may not display correctly.
The warning pop-up opens only when I click on Extended tab.
The problem has nothing to do with IE security, because I can open pages with ActiveX controls on them and so.
I have installed Spybot spyware/malware removal tool. Then uninstalled it.
I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem. But I presume it is.
So, may be someone was facing the same problem and knows the cause for it.
Thanks.

Unlike the rubbish that was stated before this post, this one works. This is the solution and Jishnu is brilliant. Thanks a million, friend.
Try to follow the KB article (KB907343).
1.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2.
Expand the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0
3.
In the right pane, right-click 1200, and then click Modify.
4.
In the Value data box, type either 1 or 0 to overwrite the existing value of 3. Then, click OK.
Note If you type 1 in the Value data box, you will receive the following prompt when you start Microsoft Project:
Do you want to allow software such as ActiveX controls and plug-ins to run?Additionally, you will receive this prompt at other times when you use Microsoft
Project. If you do not want to receive this prompt, type 0 in the Value data box.
The values 0, 1, and 3 are associated with the following behavior:
0 = Enabled, or the action is permitted
1 = Prompt
3 = Disabled, or the action is not permitted
5.
Quit Registry Editor.
IF this does not works try to check the Internet Options..
Try to reset the Internet Explorer.
1. Click on
Start & run.
2. Type inetcpl.cpl & click
ok
3. Click on Advance Tab & click on
Reset (Make sure to put the check mark on the delete the personal setting for IE8) then again
reset.
4. Click
close.
This should work.

One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:1 your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or 2. You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.

hi All,

Hi,
Actually Arnavsharma provided a operable method for you. But no luck, it's not invalid.
Here I also offer you an method you can try.Please delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey :
Click Start , click Run , type regedit , and then click OK
Expand the following registry subkey
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
Delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey
Note: The parasite zone is a pseudo-graphic number listed before zone number 0. The pseudo-graphic number looks like a miniature upper case "L"
Close the registry editor
Thanks!

No longer able to insert ActiveX controls or use existing ActiveX controls in Word documents

Using Word 2010 32bit on Windows 7.1 64bit OS.
I have a document with several ActiveX controls that I use as a template to generate new documents. This morning I installed the monthly roll-out of Windows/MS Office updates and then rebooted. After rebooting, when I opened my Word document,
I could not use the controls.
As far as I can tell, the controls are not disabled in security but are actually not recognized. If I go into Developer Mode and open the Properties from the context menu on one of the ActiveX controls, the Properties dialog opens but shows properties
for the main document and not for the control. If I try to drop a new ActiveX control in a blank document, I get the following message from Microsoft Word: "The program used to create this object is Forms. That program is either not installed
on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Forms or ensure that any dialog boxes in Forms are closed." I have not been able to find any information on a program called "Forms". Is this some component
of Word that has been corrupted?
I don't think there is any problem with the actual document because I can still open and use it on another machine running Word 2010 (where the latest updates have not been installed).

Among the monthly updates for March 2015 is a series of updates that should correct the problem. Use Windows Update to get them.
The relevant updates are:
Word 2007: http://support.microsoft.com/KB/2956109
