EA Downloader ActiveX error

[warchild.IrishRage]

Hey guys. thought I'd post since ea is crap and dont respond to tech questions.
I have the ea downloader and whenever i turn it on i get the " your current security settings prohibit running active x controls on this page." error. Ive searched good and changed IE settings but it doesnt seem to work. I have firefox and NOD is my anti virus. ANyone have any clues.
Thanks

Re: EA Downloader ActiveX error

This happens if the Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins setting is disabled for the My Computer Zone. Follow these steps to disable the restriction.

Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT

Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones \ 0

In the right-pane, double-click the value 1200 and set it's value to 0

1200 corresponds to Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins setting

Repeat the same in this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones \ 0

Close Registry Editor and restart Windows. Now, open Help and Support Center. The restrictions message should no longer be displayed. Note that some third-party security programs enable this restriction as a measure to protect the system from attacks

Re: EA Downloader ActiveX error

Today I installed the EA Downloader and I had the same issue...
I solved it erasing the registry keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings\ZoneMap\ProtocolDefaults\about

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings\ZoneMap\ProtocolDefaults\about:

I found the solution using X-Setup Pro, disabling the flag "Restrict about: URLs", that modify the keys listed above; attached the screenshot.

Hope it helps.
