Internet Explorer Information Bar not working :-(

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment,microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser,microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Ditto here - same problem with WindowsUpdate site and no
Information Bar appears to allow the ActiveX Controls to be
installed which says requires. Also put WinUpdate site in
Trusted Zone which didn't help, nor any of the troubleshooting
links suggested. Also, never see Information Bar lately to permit
or disallow downloads from any site. This has just recently occurred
and never had any problems with WindowsUpdate previously.

Any ideas why Information Bar doesn't show?

Sent on-line message about WinUpdate error message to Microsoft
& received reply back with instructions of what to check. 1st suggestion
worked which was - Open Internet Explorer>Tools>Certificates>
Untrusted Publishers. Remove any entries listed there.

Microsoft was listed and removed (have no idea why there). Went back
to WindowsUpdates and now working as should with no error messages.
Posted earlier had same problem & perhaps above might be of help to you
also.

I also have two outdated (expired 2002) Microsoft sertificates there.
But they are there to stop sites pretending to be Microsoft I guess.
Why would MS use sertificates that expired in 2002 anyway :-(

Exacly same as on 2 out of 3 of my computers :-)

And when I download programs (like .exe files) I get a standard
warning dialog box (not an information bar as I should, right)

Seems like the information bar has stopped working.

We need a way to reinstall the information bar!

> Any ideas why Information Bar doesn't show?

Nope. Hope someone else have some ideas.

Following was 2nd suggestion to check if removing all entries under
Untrusted Publishers didn't work. Even though Windows Update and
Microsoft Update (now includes Office Updates) all ok now, I did the 2nd
suggestion and all succeeded. Also have noticed InfoBar does show up now
for some other downloads and not necessary for others.

This was 2nd suggestion got from MS to try if 1st hadn't worked. Hope
helps.

- Register Windows Update components.
- 1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL" (without the
quotations). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
- 2. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 INITPKI.DLL" (without the
quotations). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
- 3. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 MSSIP32.DLL" (without the
quotations). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
- 4. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL" (without the
quotations). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
- 5. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 WINTRUST.DLL" (without the
quotations). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded

Hi all,

I have exact the same problem with info bar:
It pops up, als a line in top of IE, as it does usual.
But when I click on it - can't select anything except "Information Bar
HELP"

what have I done so far:
I've reset the IE security settings to "Default".
And I've registered all those mentioned DDL's... successfuly.

ANY HELP is welcome - luky@gmx.ch

Thanks in advance - your help is highly apprechiated!

Lukas from Switzerland, Basel

Tried all three recommended fixes in IE7. Third one worked! After enabling MUWebControl Class add-on, Microsoft Update worked without re-starting IE and without prompting to install an ActiveX control. It was as if the control had been installed, IE knew it, but kept prompting without displaying the Information Bar. Thanks for the help!
