I have a machine with Xp Home on it. After removing some spyware the computer
would no longer run many program instalations. Installing NAV2005 for example
it would get stuck on the first screen of the installation saying that "Your
current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page".

After a lot of searching I tried a lot of things, but I didnt find anything
on the net or the MS knowledge base that would help. I then reinstalled XP
with the repair option. Now I am even more stuck as it wants to activate
windows before it will let me login. The problem is that when I click Yes (i
want to activate now). I get an error message "Activate windows cannot run
because local scripting has been disabled on this computer". And, if I click
No, then it doesnt let me login either.

It seems to me the activex errors I had before the reinstalltion and this
new scripting one are probably related

I am still able to login in safe mode, but I cant find what is causing this
"scripting" problem. I can find settings in internet explorer about allowing
scripting and activex, but changing these seems to have no effect.

Can anyone help please with what I have to do to fix this? Thanks

To repair all system files, go to Start/Run, and type (or paste in): SFC /SCANNOW

To disable the SP2 warning for running activeX on a local computer page, go to : IE, Tools menu, Options, Advanced Tab, -- scroll
down to the Security area, check the box for, "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you said, but I am not able to run the SFC
in safe mode. I get the following error message:

“Windows File Protection could not initiate a scan of protected system files
The specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC sever is unavailable.].�

Is there any other way around this problem?

thanks

In safe mode, open regedit to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings]

see if you have any entries other than:

"DisplayLogo"="1"
"ActiveDebugging"="1"
"SilentTerminate"="0"
"UseWINSAFER"="1"

set any others to zero.

There were no other entries apart from the ones you listed, and they already
had the same values as your example

On the advice of another person Ive uninstalled and reinstalled an older
version of Java virtual machine (JVM), but that hasnt fixed anything either

Have you any other ideas that might work?

That sounded promising, but unfortunately there was no change after the
install. I still get exactly the same errors and cant activate XP

I am starting to think I will have to wipe the computer completely and
reinstall from scratch to get it working again, or do you think there might
still be a solution to this?

Ive run out of ideas myself. I think I will try another repair install and
see if that does anything

Go to start/run, and type
regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll
OK,
then,
regsvr32.exe licdll.dll

If you run an XP "Upgrade"setup, from the original, or "Gold" version of the setup CD, and you have SP2 installed, it might go into
a setup loop, and you could lose your install. Uninstall SP2, BEFORE you Upgrade setup from CD (that lacks sp2 on it.)

Thanks for all your help, but I had to give up and started on a fresh install
this morning. Due to time constraints I couldnt mess around trying to fix it
any longer

Thanks again
