Active X active again?

Post by Thrall » Fri Jan 06, 2006 1:49 pm

Hi all, Microsoft updated Win XP today with my consent. Amongst other updates was a revamp of Active X, and lo and behold, I can now view images at SP using that viewer. Looks like Microsoft "updated" XP in September but slipped a spanner in the works at the same time so not SP´s fault. :)

Get my PMs working and I´ll be a happy man.

Hope others are so lucky,

Thrall

Hi Catriona, thank you for the sentiment, but as we say here in the far north, "Adam was not long in Paradise"! It only took a few days for the gremlins to de-activate Active X. A total crash of my two year old hard drive last month (no, I don´t keep any genealogy in the computer except for a "Favourites list") and I thought the newly installed Win XP with the latest tweaks on the new hard drive might sort things, but no.

Life just shouldn´t be too simple.

Good hunting
