ActiveX will not re-install...

[Neil Gould]

I noted that this download and its predecessor where named the same,
the predecessor would'nt install on my system but the newer one would

Now, that _is_ curious!

What OS are you running?

Also, the on-line Flash10/ActiveX installation worked flawlessly
for FireFox with Spybot active (same machine).

FireFox is using ActiveX now?

Hi all,

I've had the misfortune of having Adobe's "update" destroy my working
ActiveX installation on IE6, and can not get it back even after
meticulously following all their instructions and various other
recommendations, so out of desperation, I thought I'd ask in the MS
news groups as to whether anyone else has insights or suggestions to
try. The failure is apparently due to an OSX file that fails to
register, although the correct permissions are set.

Windows 2000 pro SP4... IE6.

Although I don't have a definitive reason why it worked, I was able to
re-install Flash10/ActiveX successfully today via the on-line process at
Adobe.com.

Thanks for the ideas and help,

Neil

Because of its date, I keep deleting this thread, but it keeps on
reappearing every couple of days. Is this on some kind of automated repost?
Can somebody (kindly) delete it permanently?

Nobody here can delete a message from the news server. Put the spammer 9996:

ghjfdjkjdbf v

in your killfile. He/she is responsible. I never saw a thing until your
post.

Thanks - with the spam message open, I did a “Blocked Sender” trick from the
OE Tools menu. Never did this before but I trust that is what you were
referring to.


BTW, my understanding is that I can delete a thread in OE by hitting the
Delete key, and I’ve done that in the past. In this instance however I’ve
been using the Delete icon, obviously without success. Wrong place for this
question, I realize, but shouldn’t they yield the same result?

 

[Bruce Hagen]

I use message rules, but Blocked Senders has the same result. You want to
block the latest poster. You say the thread keeps coming back, but it's only
because of a new post. Either method of deleting should have the same
results.

Yes, the “thread” (I should have said “post”, which in case was one and the
same) keeps coming back, but hopefully this has put an end to it.

Here's an old trick: Create a News (not Mail!) Message Rule that reads,
"Where the message was sent more than 10 days ago, Delete it." With this
Rule enabled, any new/incoming posts dated 10 days or more in the /future/
will be deleted automatically, too.

Of course before enabling the Rule, you'll want to make sure you've
downloaded all available messages and/or have used Catch Up.

Wow, that one is a candidate for the OE (news) sticky Hall-of-Fame.
