Solved Enabling an add on

[bonkers72]

Have an add on I wanted to set back to enable, but for some reason I can't. Both the enable and disable buttons are grayed out. See pic. Thanks

Hi
You might try with ie closed and access the program settings through your control panel and internet options,
Cheers.
Possibly KeePass is stopping access ?

It's possible that something damaged or corrupted this plug-in. I'd try to uninstall then re-install a fresh version. Don't forget to read the installation instructions just to make sure nothing else changed.

Garmin: Communicator Plugin Updates & Downloads

If a fresh install still doesn't fix the problem you could try going to the test page to see what it says.

Thanks for the help. I'd like to uninstall this plugin first, before I reinstall but not sure how to go about it. I can't do anything with it on the page above. Thanks

Hi,
You can restart your machine into clean boot and try ?

Ok thanks. Need to get up enough nerve to go in deep in the registry. :shock:

Ok......here's what's going on: Didn't need to go into the registry. The plug-in I needed , I just used a different browser (FireFox) and loaded it from scratch, there. Garmin Express works great and communicates with my device now. I wonder if I should uninstall IE all together and reload it. Using 10. Advice please? Thanks.

Hi,
ie is not something you can uninstall it's built into windows,
You can turn it off or you can roll back to a prior version but removing and reloading isn't a easy task if at all,
You can use system file checker = sfc/ scannow and see if it finds anything,
Or you can do a repair install,
But that's about it
Cheers.

Thanks for the help and advice

No problem,
One other option is to create a new administrator user account and test using it,
Cheers.

It's a longshot, but go to control panel, Administrative tools, double clik services, and see if that disabled item is there , and if it is disabled, enabled delayed or auto.
If you do find it there, right clik it and select properties and select Startup type choice.
