-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Active X help

That link you sent in had the right fix and now Gmail is working!  I had to
register a dll.  The problem was that it wouldn´t let me sign in, and as I
have several Gmail accounts I could only access one of them.  Thanks for
your help!!!

But I am still scratching my head with the dlls... I can´t get Run to 
register them... something wrong with MSVisual C++ Runtime.  I downloaded 
Visual Basic 6.0, but it won´t install :o(
Deffinitely not my day!!!  Am going to restore to as far back as I can!
