C for 16 series picmicro

[WoeLiMaster]

I am trying to install the C for 16 series Picmicro course but i get an error that I'm not allowed to open an activex component. I am running this course on a windows XP pc SP3, can anybody help me out?

Hello,

At what point is the error occuring? During installation? When you open up the course? Do you have a screenshot to attach to show the error?

Cheers

David,

I am able to install the course and I can open it as well. As soon as I open a page that contains the virtual CPIC I get the message: One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either... I've consulted Microsofts knowledge base and tried to change several registry entries but non of the described solutions solves the problem.

Hi,

which version of the Cfor16 series micros is this? What browser are you using?

I am using the C for 16 series PICmicro microcontrollers v4. I also have Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18702 installed.

Hello,

Have you set up any additional security settings on your internet explorer?

Go to Tools->Options, Go to the Security Tab and choose Default Level for the Internet Zone. That should prompt you for a question to "Run the ActiveX" instead of blocking it.

David,

I've allready tried this but it doesn't work. Did you tried this running the same configuration as I have?

Thanks.

Hello,

Have you tried with a different browser?

The course should work fine in IE on windows xp.

I've also tried downgrading to IE 7 but this didn't solve the problem. I'm sure it has something to do with SP 3, cause I've installed the course on my notebook wich is running XP SP2 IE7 and it works fine there.
