Internet Explorer and Active X

[Alecia]

I cannot close any window using internet explorer and my
tab key does not work. I ran a pc doc program and it
said that I had a bunch of files missing, mainly Active
X. How do I fix this problem?

Rule out parasites.

IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
