HI All.. I've already tried going to: TOOLS > MANAGE ADD-ONS.. but the Manage Add-Ons is not highlighted... it's not allowing me to select it.


and the following message appears:

Internet Explorer is currently running without add-ons
All Internet Explorer add-ons, such as ActiveX controls or toolbars, are turned off. Some webpages might not display correctly.
To continue to your home page, click the Home button.
To browse using add-ons, close Internet Explorer and then start it again.


Is there any other way to enable add-ons??

I noticed it myself I too have that if I click on the start menu IE7 no addons. Don't click on that one use the icon on the desktop or quick launch instead.

IE7 now has a no addons mode. You are probably using the no addons mode.
Firefox has a no addons mode too. I wonder if Microsoft is copying here.

I could not get this this to go away, and my add-ons were all enabled. I had just installed IE 8 Beta.

Even though I checked the Google tool bar in the menu, the check mark would not appear next to it and my Google toolbar would not appear.

Everything cleared up after I went to Google and re-installed the Google toolbar.

The add-on information bar seems to be at bay now.

I have tried everything you all have suggested. I cannot find another IE anywhere on my computer except for the shortcut on my desktop and the one that appears on the start menu. Both of these have the add-ons disabled. Can someone please help.
Thanks

There is no need to add a new shortcut toyour desktop....the one youhave is fine....

right-click icon and select properties
in the target dialog box you will notice at the end that -extoff has been added...just remove this and you will be fine

:) Here is an odd addition to this problem. I read all of the post because I have been having the same problem but not all the time.
i have finally been able to detect a pattern but I don't know how to fix it.

When I open IE from Start Icon, or Quick start Icon all is fine. Add-ons work fine with no warnings.
When i click on a link in an email or a link in a search window such as open in new tab then I get the add-ons warning.

I know somewhere there is a link with add-ons disabled but have no idea how tto find it.

Thanks
Thomas

:) Hello guys. I found the answer to my problem and this could help someone else.

See my last post for problem. It was with links to IE.

To solve, go to start> All Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet explorer. If it shows Internet Explorer (No Add-ins) then right click to open properties and remove command after .exe -******.
Restart ALL Windows.

I have the soulution>>>
I know the soulution....

sup guys (i just had this problem resecently)
Anyways this is how you fix it.
1) GO to your internet browser and click "tools" (the tools button schould be on the right top corner)
2) Then a window will pop up on the window look for the "programs" tab; find it and click it.
3) Then click a button saying "manage add ons"
4) Then in the add ons section click the "shokewave flash object" add on. After clicking it enable this add on.
5) Then look at the middle, in the middle there must be a button saying "show" click the list and then click on "Addo-ons currently loaded in internet explorer".
&) Now another list must have popped open; now in this list look under the add on section for "shokewave flash object" click this and click enable.
7) Now you are all done; and click applay/okay and exit and restart internet explorer.
8) If you have any question then please let me know.
