I am having problems with programs I have had for quite some time. they always worked perfectly. Now I can open the program but it willnot let me do anything. For example, when I go to services on the MMC it tells me the extended version cannot be accessed due to active x error but it will not tell me which ones, but I can open the services in standard mode. HUH? How do I fix this I have tried finding it but no luck .HELP!1 person needs an answerI do too
