When I start IE, I always get a warning that my system is running with add on's disabled. I go into "tools" and "manage add on's" and check to see if they are enabled and they are. One that seems to be real important is "Active X". I only know this because of trying to download pics onto FB. System always says something about installing Active X controls to continue. So the FB was the first indication that I have some sort of problem on my computer. Some time later I started getting the warning about my system running with add on's disabled. What the heck is going on with this sytem. I've had this comuter for four years. Also, I have never backed up any files or system before, so that will be another issue I may have to face.Please help, it's a good computer, just needs care.Thanks,clmoz1 person needs an answerI do too
