Active X Installer
Ok, guys so this is my last resort. After about two hours of searching through web pages I still cannot find a solution so I have finally come to the LG community. I am currently using windows vista and need to install the active X installer however, after going into the "turn windows feature on and off" section of "programs" in "control panel" I have found that somehow, I must have uninstalled active x and now cannot figure out how to reinstall it. Active X seems to be an optional function for windows vista and normally would be disabled unless enabled by administrator permissions however, I cannot find a download for the actual active x program and not "active x controls".

Hmmm, do you have System Restore enabled?
If so, try and restore to a previous date, it should work from there.

If not you MAY have to do the repair option on the install CD, I dunno if it will fix it but it might.


I'll go ask around on another forum to see what they say, I'll update this post if I find anything.

Thanks for the info. Might try the install CD but as for system restore, it would seem I'm out of luck.

If you need a small OS get Tiny XP (if you prefer XP, this OS fits on a single CD) or Tiny7 (it SHOULD fit on a CD, if not a DVD)

Go to The Pirate Bay and search it up, it's by eXPer1ence.

Tiny 7 fits on a cd with room to spare, but has some known .NET framework issues.

If you're going for a tiny OS, go for XP.


As for installing ActiveX, try installing the latest version of Internet Explorer.
IE is always bundled with ActiveX, and is worth a shot.

Thanks to everyone for their help, new I could count on you guys. Installing a new version of Internet Explorer seems to have done the job and everything is working smoothly.

Well, I only said Tiny7 because of a certain error I encountered while trying to use TinyXP...
Not ALL new laptops can run Windows XP, due to a few driver error's n shit.

For example, on my Dell Latitude E6400, I installed TinyXP and the sound driver wouldn't install due to a OS error.

Get TinyXP if you want stability and customization, Tiny7 if you want the features / theme of windows 7
