WRT54GXv-2 and ActiveX filtering

Hello all,
I have a WRT54GXv-2 and I just upgraded to Vista Ultimate from Win XP Pro. I'm having a problem with windows update and after trying everything I can through windows I found someone who solved the problem by turning off ActiveX filtering through his Linksys router, not sure of the model, but this leads me to believe this may be where I should focus.
My question is this, aside from turning off the router firewall is there anything else I can try? I have not found a switch for ActiveX filtering so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since your router does not have a switch to enable or disable ActiveX, I would assume that ActiveX is always enabled (i.e. I would assume that the router does not filter ActiveX).
ActiveX is such a standard part of the way some Internet services are provided, that I cannot imagine a router that would permanently disable (block) ActiveX.  If this were the case with your router, I am sure that we would have heard lots of complaints about it.  I have not seen this come up before as an issue.
I do not know much about Vista, but when ActiveX tries to work in Windows XP, you see a thin bar appear, just above your Internet window pane.  You have to click on this bar and give specific permission for ActiveX to work.  Its easy to miss the bar.  If you don't click the bar, nothing happens, and the ActiveX will not work.   Perhaps Vista works in a similar way.

  • ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

    If you have completed the steps in our Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer 9 FAQ and continue to have problems seeing Flash content, please see the following video and instructions to learn how to disable ActiveX Filtering.
    Please click here for an HTML5 version of this video: YouTube HTML5 HD Link
    Internet Explorer 9 and ActiveX Filtering
    ActiveX Filtering is a new feature for Internet Explorer 9 which allows you to browse the Web without running any ActiveX controls.  Flash Player is an ActiveX control and when filtering is enabled Flash content will not be displayed on a webpage.
    When you visit a webpage that contains ActiveX controls, and filtering is enabled, IE will display a "circle with slash" icon (see screenshot below) in the address bar to indicate that controls have been filtered.
    Flash content and video will not be displayed on the page until you have disabled ActiveX filtering.  Fortunately, you have a few options for enabling ActiveX content.
    Disable ActiveX Filtering for all websites
    Open Internet Explorer 9 and click on the gears icon in the upper right corner of the window.
    Select the Safety Menu, and then uncheck the ActiveX Filtering menu item.
    Alternately you can also access this via the Tools menu on the menu bar, then unchecking ActiveX Filtering.
    Disable ActiveX Filtering for individual websites that you trust
    Navigate to a page with blocked content, noted with the circle with slash icon.
    Click the circle with slash icon
    Click the "Turn off ActiveX Filtering" button

    Me too. Thanks a million, Chris. Without you, I would go crazy pulling my hair off.
    I tried everything I possible could, you name it, I did it, but I was kept advised to download
    and install the latest flash version. The next step I would try to uninstall IE9 and re-install IE8,
    because I did not have such an issue when I was using IE8. If this fails, I would even try to
    buy a new computer. Finally, I came across this forum and find your answer.
    I follow your instructions, and finally I DID IT. I can see all videos now.
    Many many thanks to you Chris. You save me a lot of work and money.

  • Flash Player is enabled, ActiveX Filtering disabled, yet Flash videos will not play in Internet Explorer 11

    I have enabled Flash Player in add-ons for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 8.1. I also disabled ActiveX Filtering as instructed while trouble shooting... Yet, videos still will not play on webpages shown in Internet Explorer. How can I fix this, since I have already followed instructions from Adobe completely? Flash Player is supposedly already be installed in Internet Explorer 11, but it is NOT working.

    Long story short, the video site is probably going to need to change their content before it works in IE11+.  I'd need some links to affected pages to tell you for sure (and even then, the complexity of websites these days makes debugging pretty painful). 
    In the meantime, you might just want to use Chrome for the sites that otherwise don't work.

  • HELP!Flash Player and ActiveX communication problem in IE!

    I've made a ActiveX Control which use a Modeless Dialog to
    hold a
    ShockWaveFlash ActiveX control. Then we could use this
    ActiveX control
    as a bridge to communication with the Flash which was held in
    the
    ShoclWaveFlash Control.
    The struct is as below:
    External APP or Html <--> My own ActiveX Control
    <--> ShockWaveFlash
    Player playing .swf file
    In Firefox or MFC APP, everything is OK, but in IE, IF we
    load local
    swf file and set always local trust, we can get FSCommand in
    our own
    ActiveX,
    But if we load a swf file from HTTP use URL to locate it, We
    cann't get
    the FSCommand fired from flash in our own ActiveX.
    It should be a security issue of Flash8, but I don't know
    whether a
    remote SWF file can communicate with local ActiveX in IE???
    Please Help! Thanks!

  • Security and/or filtering error in data form creation

    Hi,
    I am getting this error when I am trying to preview my data form.
    This is the first time I am creating an application and data form in Hyperion.
    The data form is multicurrency and plan type is Plan1.
    Row:
    Account members: Descendants(Account)
    Column:
    Year:Descendants(FY10)
    Period:Descendants(YearTotal)
    Page Dimension(s)
    Entity:Descendants(Entity)
    Scenario:Current
    Version:BU Version_1
    POV:
    Currency:USD
    Disabled all options in "Other options" and Not selected any business rukes.
    When selecting preview data form I am getting below error:
    Security and/or filtering has resulted in a required dimension not being represented on this data form
    I have not selected any security/filter settings as of now. Please suggest whats causing this.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jake,
    I did what you suggested,but I am still getting same error.
    Here I would like to point out that. I have selected my application to support multicurrency, but 'HSP_RATES' does not come in Dimension selection drop down. I can see 'HSP_RATES' in Performance settings tab, but I cant see it in Dimensions tab or Evaluation order tab.
    Is this causing problem? Should I add it manually?
    Thanks,
    Rajni.

  • LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server

    Hi,
    I have a question related to LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server:
    We have a tool developed in LabVIEW and TestStand. End user interface is a LabVIEW GUI (it's an executable) which executes TestStand sequences. Some TestStand sequences call lower level LabVIEW VIs.
    Everything works fine with LabVIEW installed, but I was wondering if I could run this tool on deployment machine with only LabVIEW run time engine installed. We are using LabVIEW 6.1 and with only the run time engine installed, I get the error message: "Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW.Application' ActiveX automation server ". 
    BTW, we are planning to upgrade the versions soon.
    Is it possible to make things work only with the run time engine?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the response, Brian.
    I did upgrade to LabVIEW 8.0 and TestStand 3.5. Everything works fine on the development computer where LabVIEW and TestStand is installed. On the target computer in the lab, I installed LV RTE 8.0 and TestStand 3.5, and now when a VI is called in a sequence file, I get the following:
    RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Code  -18002 
    RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Msg  "LabVIEW: The VI is not executable"
    So, the executable opens and works fine (which means that the LV RTE is installed properly), but when a sequence calls a low level VI, it does not make it through.
    comments/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

  • Error in Form.  - Security and or filtering has resulted in a Required dim

    Hi,
    When some of our users are trying to access forms, they are getting the error"Security and or filtering has resulted in a Required dimension not being represented on this data form'. How Do i resolve this issue. Do I need to go to the organization dimension and asign secuWe are on Hyperion planning 11.1.1.1.
    Prasad

    It sounds like the issue isn't related to provisioning. Instead, it sounds like a dimensional security issue (security assigned to individual members in your hierarchies). For example, perhaps the user doesn't have access to a particular scenario or entity?
    To edit dimensional security, sign into your Planning app as an administrator. Select <Administration>, <Dimensions>. Click on a member and select the "Assign Access" button. If that button isn't available, it means that security is not turned on for that dimension. To turn security on or off for a given dimension, select that dimension and press the "View" button. You should see a check box to "Apply Security".
    When I'm trying to debug this type of issue, I typically use the native Essbase spreadsheet add-in and Styles. Try to recreate your form in the spreadsheet add-in. Use the exact same members. (make sure you're signed in as the user who is having trouble with the form)
    In your Essbase options, select "Use Styles" in the display tab. Then select different styles for read only and read/write. It will quickly become apparent where you have security assigned. Then you go update your security in Planning, refresh, and your user should be able to access the form.
    Hope this helps,
    - Jake

  • ISA570 - SPAM and Web Filtering Only

    I want to use my new IAS570 for SPAM and Web filtering but not as a firewall or VPN endpoint at this time.  I want to contune to use my existing firewall for the other 2 services.  Is it possible to do this and does the ISA570 need an external IP address in order to leverage the other functions?

    Steve,
    I believe you can accomplish what you are wanting by enabling Routing Mode (Networking -> Routing -> Routing Mode).  Routing mode basically turns off NAT on the device but allows the other security functions to still continue working.  So for example, this would be your configuration to add the ISA.
    Placement
    Internet -> Current Firewall -> ISA -> Network Switch(s) -> Workstations/Servers
    Example configs
    Current Firewall
    Outside IP - 1.1.1.1 /24
    Inside IP - 10.0.0.1 /24
    ISA
    WAN1 IP - 10.0.0.2 /24
    WAN Gateway - 10.0.0.1
    LAN IP - 10.1.0.1 /24
    Workstation/Server Gateway - 10.1.0.1
    Additional Configuration
    ISA
    Networking -> Routing -> Routing Mode
    Enable
    Firewall -> Access Control -> ACL Rules
    Add ACL Rule to Permit Any Any and ensure it's at the top of the list
    Security -> Dashboard
    Disable everything except SPAM and Web Filtering
    The ISA doesn't require you to configure an External IP on it.  You just need to ensure it has Internet Access to it can continue to get updates for the services you are utilizing.

  • Ios 7.02-03 animations are gone and camera filters diss appeared, Ios 7.02-03 animations are gone and camera filters diss appeared in ios 7.02

    I go my dad's old phone 2 weeks ago, I updated to ios 7.02, my pararama didn't move at all, I looked in settings and messed around trying to make it work ( turning it off and on) it still didn't work, I also noticed that my camera features such as filters on the slide bar dissapered, I updated to 03 but still noting happened I am do angry, how can i fix this? Also my phone, keyboard etc is soooo slow it takes me a minute to type 3 words. All I got to say is apple you ruined everybody's phone, I know a lot of people who are buying galaxy's  because if the update ! I what my paranorma and filters back, please help me:'(

    iOS 7 doesn't support all features on the iPhone 4 (it's too old and slow for several iOS 7 features), panorama photography and camera filters  are among the features that are not available on the iPhone 4. Here's a list of what is supported on what hardware with iOS 7:
    Not all features are available on all devices.
    Traffic information in Today view is available on iPhone 4s or later.
    Panorama format is available on iPhone 4s or later and iPod touch (5th generation). Square and video formats and swipe to capture are available on iPhone 4 or later, iPad 2 or later, iPad mini, and iPod touch (5th generation).
    Filters in Camera are available on iPhone 4s or later and iPod touch (5th generation 32GB/64GB).
    Video sharing is not available on iPad 2 and iPod touch (5th generation 16GB).
    AirDrop is available on iPhone 5 or later, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini, and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires an iCloud account.
    Safari full-screen view and tab view are available on iPhone 4s or later and iPod touch (5th generation).
    Siri is available on iPhone 4s or later, iPad with Retina display, iPad mini, and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply. New female and male voices will be available initially in U.S. English, French, and German. Returning calls and playing voicemail are available on iPhone 4s or later.
    Find My iPhone enables you to locate iOS devices only when they are on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network or have an active data plan. Some features may not be available for all countries or all areas.
    iCloud requires iOS 5 or later on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd generation or later), iPad, or iPad mini; a Mac computer with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later; or a PC with Windows 7 or Windows 8 (Outlook 2007 or later or an up‑to‑date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks. Some features require a Wi‑Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices.
    You laggy keyboard/typing issue however is another matter. Several iPhone 4 users (and other models too) have reported similar problems after upgrading to iOS 7, but most iPhone 4 users do not experience the issue. A fix I've heard has been successful in several cases is to logout of iCloud and iTunes and the App Store in Settings, reset the phone (press sleep/wake and home buttons together and hold until Apple logo appears), and then log back into iCloud and iTunes and the App Store in Settings again.

  • WebUtil and ActiveX

    What is the correlation between WebUtil and ActiveX?
    The reason I ask is that we have successfully installed WebUtil on our 9iAS R2 apps server and the Webutil forms that were created all work perfectly on site.
    However our WAN covers sites all over the UK and the majoiry of these sites have all ActiveX settings disabled for security reasons. When accessing from one of these sites the form correctly loads all the .dll and .jar files but the CLIENT_TEXT_IO procedure will not operate.

    ... one thing I forgot. Duncan Mills, who could answer this question a lot better than I can, is on vacation this week.

  • What are used and unused filters?

    Upgraded to Lr4 and noticed "used" and "unused" filters.  Maybe they were there in Lr3 and I just didn't notice them. 
    Can someone tell me what these are for?  If I select either and then to cmd-A, I select all  pix in my library with either filter?  So, for me they are doing nothing.
    Btw, I tried looking in Lr help for this but could not find it.  Can someone point me to the user manual or online help that covers this topic.
    On Mac with Snow Leopard.  Thank you, Chris R

  • Different versions Plugin and ActiveX with MSI file installation

    Dear all,
    we used the newest Adobe Flash Player MSI file with our software deployment tool. But we has trouble with two different versions of plugin and ActiveX installation.
    Does any body know how that could be appear? Should we use now the .EXE file?
    Best regards,

    The EXE and MSI installers on the distribution page are always identical versions.
    However, it seems to happen a lot that MSI installers are cached on some corporate servers.  Make sure the caches are cleaned, or download the MSI from outside your corporate environment.
