I shall quote Max Spyridskas about the more complicated causes of active x
problems, because he says the following so well....


On WinNT4 systems in particular, one known problem is...

Comcat.dll version 5.0 works with Ole32.dll version 4.71 and above;

Comcat.dll version 4.71 works with Ole32.dll version 4.0 (this should be the
WinNT4 configuration.)

*** Some KB references about Comcat.dll issues *** NT systems are a bit
different from Win9x systems (DCOM is a core NT component)...
