Hey guys, I'm on Xp Home, and I recent;y had a hijacker that totally screwed
up my system, I got it cleaned, but Windows tells me it has to be reactivated
and I am unable to because of the error message saying that local scripting
and activex is disabled. I have tried everything but am unable to
correct this.

Additionally, Symantec won't run, and I am unable to do a system restore.

Can someone tell me how to enable activex and local scripting so that these
programs can run? And why can I NOT restore?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help

Dan.

I found what your talking about in Internet Options from IE scroll down and
then Security, then Internet then Custom and it should list Active X
changeable info.
