I was having problems with spyware and cleaned them all up using WinFixer 2005. After I was finished I uninstalled WinFixer 2005 and my system appears to be clean. The only problem is I now have no ActiveX or Flashwave 8 resources. When I pull up websites that incorperate either of these two items I get a little red x as if something is missing. I have tried updating windows xp but on the windows update site it tells me to click the info bar to download activex controller and I don't ever get the info bar telling me to download it. I have also tried going and downloading from macromedia but that won't let me download without the flash or activex. I have taken my security settings from everything allowed to nothing allowed. I have also tried alowing everything and what has the option for a prompt I have asked for the prompt. Still unable to do anything. Could someone please give me some advise.

Try here

http://www.macromedi...=ShockwaveFlash

Make sure you remove the tick fom the toolbar install

Do you have a problem with Microsoft Update

http://update.micros...t.aspx?ln=en-us

Do you have Windows Installer 3.1 V2

If you run disc clean up then click to view downloaded programme files, do you have shockwave control

I actually had basically the same issue no matter what I did could I get flash to install. When I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows it worked. Anyway, I'm not telling you to reinstall Windows, but I would be curious to know if what Keith suggested works.

I tried the shokewave and it loaded but didn't help any. I tried the windows updates but it said to hit the info bar up top to download activex controls and there was no info bar to click. I had no idea what the windows installer thing was. Someone else emailed and advised I reload windows XP but I was afraid to untill I read the instructions on this forum for doing it without reinitializing my system. I have done that and everything seems to be working now accept 2 things. On install something failed installing catsrv.dll ??? and now when my computer reboots it says surfaccuracy fails due to SAcc.exe corrup?? are these things that I need to take care of or what??

I thought winfixer was pretty dodgy software.

Maybe you should post this in the malware removal forum.

Just an idea

Did you install SP2 yet

I had downloaded SP2 should I do that now or continue letting window run its auto updates and rebooting my computer every 15-20 minutes.

SP2 can go on whenever, as long as all the updates go on it does not matter
