Scotty alerted on the above, out of the blue, something about an Active-X wanting to install. A Google search points to an update, KB 927977, which has 3 choices of varying size. The associated file is C:\Windows\System32\msxml6.dll. I have no idea what XML does or how it works and was wondering if it's OK to allow the install.
Well...using Vista's new and improved and unintuitive and user unfriendly search function...nothing comes up. As soon as I paste in the name of the file it indicates no such file...without seeming to make a search. Same result if I just put in the dll. Where is that pokey little puppy when you need him? I'll just deny the file if it comes up again. I am sure it is legit as it seems to be a Windows function, but the system seems to be OK without it.

dale,
it should be okay.
to be extra sure, use Windows Explorer to navigate to that file.
RIGHT-click on it, select PROPERTIES, and under VERSION, i believe it should be listed as
6.0.3890.0 (for KB 92977)
[or 6.10.1129.0 , if that file has been updated to an SP1 version]
and the company should be Microsoft.
if that's what you have, let scotty allow it... otherwise, come back and let us know what you have.
