ActiveX Control Errors

Having problems with ActiveX Control Errors? If so, you've come to the right place. Our comprehensive Error Troubleshooting Directory contains detailed instructions on how you can quickly troubleshoot your computer problems.

ActiveX is used to implement various technologies in your PC, including browsers and games. If you experience an ActiveX error, it could be due to various reasons. Sometimes, an incorrect version of the ActiveX software can cause issues. Errors can also arise due to poor programming causing conflicts with other software running on the PC. In some cases, files removed during uninstalls of a software can also cause an ActiveX error.

ActiveX errors don’t always contain the name ActiveX. However, if you see an application crash or freeze, especially an interactive application or flash content, the culprit is usually ActiveX.

How do I solve the problem?

Experienced users can judge the source of the problem by simply reading the warning or error message. Those with a lower computer literacy level obviously won’t be able to manipulate Windows at the level required to solve these issues. Special applications exist that allow users to simply launch an application, let it scan the computer and fix the problem. However, such a solution comes with certain risks. If you download the wrong software and let it go through your system, it could wreak havoc.

So what are the alternatives? Google may be your best friend here. Simply Google the warning message you received and see if there is a simple solution to it. Microsoft’s own website lists some possible causes and their solutions which are worth checking out.
