I am having serious praoblems validating Windows in order to download a media
player codec. It was suggested that I uninstall Explorer 7 which I did but
this has not helped and now I can't reinstall EX7. I do not get the ActiveX
window when I try to validate my version of Windows. Now using the alternate
method gets me to page saying that page cannot be displayed.

Passed Display images enabled
Passed Computer time and date correct
Passed ActiveX enabled
Failed Windows validation ActiveX loaded
Failed Office validation ActiveX loaded
