    Client is running XP and IE7. Long story short, another spftware company is saying that when they load my software, they then get these errors from their web based application. The error message is "Unable to Load the SynDocViewer ActiveX Control. Please contact your system administrator." , and the window title is "Windows Internet Explorer." I am now on the defensive and have no idea how to research this problem since I am not a web developer and do not have access to their software. Any ideas how to debug this problem?

    I have looked at Fiddler, but am not really familiar how to use it. Have also looked at Process Monitor, but nothing obvious is jumping out at me.

    My application is a Windows exe with several dlls. I register some dll and Install Shield installs some components. Maybe one of my components is overlaying one of theirs??
    I apologize, as the formatting is off, but to the left shows the component that is installed with my software.

    I run XP and IE7, am getting an "unable to load the syndocviewer activex control. please contact your system administrator.". Well ... I am the system administrator. How can I debug this problem? Is there a log file available? Any help is appreciated.

    Anyone? Someone must have some insight on how to debug an ActiveX that will not load. Or at least some ideas of Windows/Microsoft components that clash.

    Hi,

    Is your computer on workgroup or domain?
     
    If it is on workgroup, then you may enable the built-in administrator account and check.

    1) Write click on my computer and click on manage.
    2) Find local users and group->users and then find the administrator user.
    3) right click on user go to it properties and deselect Account is disabled checkbox.
    4) Now set the password of administrator user and now you are ready to login as administrator user.
     

    Thanks and Regards:
    Swati K- Microsoft Support Engineer

    I think your post might need some more clarification, you say you're building an exe - I'm not sure how that's related to ActiveX. Other than that it's a very broad question, have you looked to see if any COM registrations you make clash with theres?
