I was on TT earlier tonight no problem. Watched a little TV...played a little pirates etc. While I was watching some lame show on television I realized I hadn't done the usual puter clean up in awhile (darn thing is always being used ) so I disck cleaned up and defrag. No biggie. That's IT! So now I was about to go on and check my daughters toon and I'm getting some message bar on top of IE saying that my ActiveX is goofy. TT takes me to a screen that tells me to let Disney install it. I do that....about 10 times. It then takes me to another screen that tells me to change some settings. Ahhhh the settings are already where they are suppose to be. I have noooo clue. Is this a TT thingy tonight? Just my luck?



HELP!!!!! (please)!

This is what it says:


Toontown - Getting Started
We're sorry. There was a problem downloading the Toontown Installer. Look to see if there is a yellow bar in the header of your web browser window, as shown in the animation to the right. If you do see one:


Click on the yellow bar and use your cursor to select the "Install ActiveX Control" menu option.
Once selected, the ActiveX Control will automatically install itself.


Did it...over and over and over....

I have been having problems where TT sends me to the "OOPS< ToonTown had a problem" page if I go to my estate, change districts or whatever. I sent a bug report in and they said that "Active X is causing problems on my computer". It suggested that I update Active X, so I did. The random log out problem is still there, but as far as your EXACT trouble......I cannot say. I only mention this because I find it interesting that "Active X" seems to be causing trouble.

It is probably a bug in TT reacting to Active X. TT updates frequently, so I am sure the trouble starts there! I hope it gets fixed soon though. Sorry I couldn't help......just wanted you to know that Active X is causing trouble here too. Misery loves company....LOL

I thought to do a system restore this morning and now it's working? Shrug....who knows what happened??????

When I got my computer I had to install ActivX control. It popped up a yellow bar under the search bar that if I left clicked it, it let me install it. Does it do that to you? Never had problems with it.

AAAGH the Active X problem.. been there done that.

The looping of the yellow bar "click to install, and it never does, and just asks again the next time you try, is a simple fix.

Go into (I'm going to assume you're using IE7 as it seems to be the version that loops) IE7.
Click on tools, then internet options.
click on the security tab
then click the button marked custom level.
Scroll down to "Download signed active x controls" and pick "prompt" as your selection.
Save your settings then go back and start toontown.
Instead of that obnoxious yellow bar you'll get a box that pops up asking you if you want to install
the toontown installer. Click yes and it will run.

Found out that if that "Download signed Active X controls" is set to Disable all it will do is ignore your clicking the yellow bar.

As far as having to reinstall toontown to begin with the only time I've had to do that is if I was running our kid's machine with toontown
in a window, and an update occured. For some reason the updates never worked right with it set to run in a window.
Toontown would get an error trying to open the window.
The next time we'd run it, it would say our grpahics drivers needed updating.
All we had to do was uninstall toontown.
Reboot and reinstall toontown as the problem wasn't the drivers it was that the program was set to run
in a window and the updated version corrupted that setting in toontown itself.
Proved it 3 times in a row.

Have fun and I hope this post helps someone else..
