Sporadic display of activex control - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

Ike

I have an Activex Control created in VB6, which, displays no problem on any
machine I have, but, on some machines of others, it does not. All machines
are running either XP or Windows 2000, and all are running MSIE6.x, woth
security settings set to display this control.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how such a simple control can be so
sporadic in it;s showing on a page. It always downloads - it just doesn't
always show. I'm enclosing my html for the page where the code is displayed
(which is at http://www.technalink.com/vdist/tobul/ )

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
