Hi,

I am the admin for a web application that runs on an intranet with
maybe 1000 users or more.
The web required some activex controls, which are distributed by the
desktop admins via a separate .msi installer to ensure all the right
controls are there.

For 99% of users this works just great, however I have a bit of a
problem with a couple of users thats beginning to drive me crazy!

The problem only happens when they log into the web application and
navigate to a certain page/screen that used Treecontrols and popup
menus's etc. It's an activex hungry page.

The IE session simply goes to 100% and stays there.

Now that user can log out of that desktop and I can log in using my
desktop profile and everything works perfectly. So it's like it's
profile related, but the desktop guys insist it's nothing to do with
the profiles.

Similarly on my desktop I have no problem, but if one of the users
with the problem logs into my machine the problem happens. So they log
off, then I log in and it's fine again.

Doesn't this sound like IE is wanting to either d/l or initialise an
ActiveX, but something on the profile is stopping it? Does anyone have
any idea how I can prove this fault is not with the web but instead
with the profile of the users affected? Is there any way to view/log
that IE is "trying to do xxxxx" but being blocked by xxxx for
example?

Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks muchly!

Cheers,
Stuart
