One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either

[IT Fachbereich]

Hi.
I don't know if this is the right forum for my problem.
Anyway,
I have a problem with my Windows Services.
Each time when I launch Windows Services window, I get a warning:

One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either:
1. your current security settings prohibit running activex
controls on this page, or
2. you have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
as a result, the page may not display correctly.



The warning pop-up opens only when I click on Extended tab.
The problem has nothing to do with IE security, because I can open pages with ActiveX controls on them and so.



I have installed Spybot spyware/malware removal tool. Then uninstalled it.
I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem. But I presume it is.


So, may be someone was facing the same problem and knows the cause for it.
Thanks.

Hi - I had the exact same problem, also my windows sidebar gadgets wouldn't display properly.

You should delete 1 extra (parasite) zone from

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\

with pseudo-graphic number, you'll see it before zone number 0.
It seems this is a bug of Adobe flash player update, though I am not sure.

The pseudo-graphic number I'm speaking of before zone number 0 looks like a miniature upper case "L".

Delete that registry entry and all is well.

Good Luck

Same Problem - Same Solution

THANKS Sledge1964! You saved my day!

I do think it's adobe but I have not installed any updates for that but I do get Microsoft Security warnings when opening PDF's which seems to be linked to the same registry entry as they dissapear when the entry is removed.

Again THANKS!!

I have the same problem. I test many ways including system restore and SFC. But the problem is still exist. Many thanks to Sledge1964. I try the way you have posted it above. Delete registry entry listed below. The problem has been solved.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\L]
"1806"=dword:00000000
"1601"=dword:00000000
