Spung! Out of the blue I have started getting ActiveX control warnings with IE6 with NT4 SP6. The error reads:

"this page provides potentially unsafe information to an ActiveX control. Your current security settings prohibit running controls in this manner. As a result this page may not display correctly."

The irony is that I get the warning on Microsoft pages as well as many others. I tried making the ActiveX settings as liberal as possible. No luck.

I tried repairing IE6. I got a log reporting that IE6 could not be repaired because an "error occurred while setting up asctrls.ocx." The same error was logged for dxtrans.dll. I was advised to run set-up again. I ran set-up again and was notified that asctrls.ocx and dxtrans.dll could not be installed but that installation would continue. A repeat attempt at repair led me through the same tail-chase.

I'm beginning to feel sorry for myself. Any ideas? Are these problems related?

Not sure if related did a search on "error occurred while setting up asctrls.ocx" and got this:
Microsoft reference (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q193657) which tells you how to delete these files and start over on activex.
Also got a hit on "dxtrans.dll " in reference to encarta at microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q298101)
Both of these turn up in the new 6.0 also.
