Re: KB937143 has killed my server side ActiveX controls... Why?

Tip: Temporarily disable real-time protection by your anti-virus and/or anti-spyware applications (e.g., CounterSpy, Spysweeper, Spybot, AVG Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before attempting to install the update(s).

Looks like MS still pretends that this is Not a known issue. The update
prevents IE from connecting to the net and is not an issue of certain web

Known issues with this security update

• Controls that prompt before they are loaded

Note: This issue occurs on Web sites that do not use the recommended
techniques. This issue is resolved by using the techniques that are
described on the following Microsoft Web site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate

When certain controls are loaded on a Web page, the controls are not
correctly masked by the functionality of this update. These controls
include controls that are used in Macromedia Shockwave Director, in
QuickTime Player, and in Virtools Web Player. When Windows determines that
a control is inactive, the system prompts the user before the control is
loaded. </QP>

Hello,

I have an old ASP application that uses server side ActiveX controls
called
from serverside javascript. MS Update KB937143 has made it so these no
longer work. Does anyone know why, or have any idea how to correct this
(other than un-installing KB937143)? Uninstalling does resolve the
problem,
by the way. I just want to know what this update changed so I can fix my
problem.

Thanks!
