ActiveX popup in Windows Hwlp.

[Tony Cash]

Every time I click on a link in Windows help like "related Topics" I get a
popup:

"Internet Explorer
An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts
of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?
Yes No"

I have tried setting Internet Explorer security down to LOW but this doesn't
help. How can I get rid of this problem?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You may be able to fix this by unregistering and then re-registering
the HTML Help ActiveX control (hhctrl.ocx). To do this, open a Command
Prompt window and then enter the following two commands:

regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx

Alternatively, if you have an older version of hhctrl.ocx than
5.2.3735.x then you may be able to fix the problem by installing
Critical Update 811630 (which will upgrade and re-register the HTML
Help viewer components). You can get the update from here:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811630

Finally, you could try running MJ's Help Diagnostics, available from
here:

(The only section of the MJ's Help Report that is relevant to your
problem is the one headed "HTML Help Run-time Components".)

Thanks for the tip Lee but I got it fixed yesterday when I installed
Windows XP SP2. In fact SP2 cleared up several problems that I
had.
