With WinME and WinXP you can run System Restore and select an entry
point listed on a date before the problem first occurred. You would
have to select a date before the worm infestation.

If you open Internet Properties, General tab, click Settings, View
Objects, you will see the ActiveX components. The one needed for the
Zone is HeartbeatCtl Class. Look at its properties and see if it's
damaged. If so, right-click, click Repair. If you click View, Details,
you will see the Status of each. Repair any that is damaged.
Right-click any that you wonder about, click Properties to see what
they're used for. Remove any you think don't belong. They'll be
reinstalled as needed.

A security setting within the browser might cause ActiveX to not run
also.

>The activex file that needs replaced is called
heartbeatcls, and it can be found like this:

close your browser, go into your control panel, and click
internet, or internet options. then, on the general tab,
click settings, then go to 'view objects'. Delete the
heartbeat fiel from there. It may be a string of
characters if its damaged.

Then unistall the zone, and then re-install it. If this
doesnt work then your in my boat, b/c I have a similar
problem.

It's possible your C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files folder has
\Conflict folders then. If so, they need to be removed, plus any
reference to them in the registry. Post again if you need more details.
