Henna,
Whenever posting questions on these forums, please give us as much information as possible about your computer. We need the operating system, processor speed, amount of RAM installed, brand name of the computer, (if there is one), and any EXACT error messages you are receiving, and in your case, the version of Internet Explorer that you are using. The more information you give us, the better informed our answer will be.
Have you tried "repairing" Internet Explorer? Depending on your version, open the Control Panel, double click on the "Add/Remove Programs" icon, find the "Microsoft Internet Explorer X and Internet Tools" listing, highlight it, then click on the "Add/Remove" button. A small box will load, place a dot/tic, in the "Repair" option, then run the repair.
If the repair option doesn't work, then you should probably reinstall IE 6 from the link below:

It also sounds like your Virtual Machine/Java is having an issue. You might consider installing Sun's Java from the link below:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.asp
Download the "Download J2SE v 1.4.2_04 " version in the lower part of the page labeled: "32-bit/64-bit for Windows/Linux/Solaris SPARC 32-bit for Solaris x86 " under the "JRE" heading.
Hope this helps.

Hey everyone I'm havin very very serious problem related to ActiveX, I've done everythingggg to make it work but it wont work and I can't open lots of websites because of this problem
Well the problem is, few days ago something happened to my puter, I was downloading upgrades from Microsoft windows update and something happened during the installation and then my puter shut down on its own and when I tried restarting it, windows wouldn't load and every time I tried it went all blank, then I restarted it in safe mode it would start okay but wouldn't start in normal then I restarted it in dos mode and restored registry from the previous days back up, my puter started okay after that BUTT now, I can't open any page which requires running ActiveX controls (I dunno much bout it), but whenever I try to open any chatroom my puter says
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result the page may not display correctly"
I even tried setting my security settings to it's lowest and removed all the spywares too but it still doesnt work, and I also can't open msn explorer, msn messenger, hotmail account (I think I can't open anything related to Microsoft and chatrooms and all the websites which requires running security warning) and I cant run windows update either. Whenever I try to do it, I get the same error, I can open all the websites but these, another thing I removed something from add/remove in control panel when my puter wouldn't start and I had to start it in safe mode, it was something like windows update I thought it were those files that I downloaded from Microsoft windows update and well I thought that maybe my puter is acting weird because of the updates but now I dunno what to do, you guys have any idea what's wrong?? Can any of you guys help me with this prob?
