OK now before you tell me that IE is crap and to download Firefox, I already use FF as my main browser. Only time I use IE is to check my e-mail. But I am getting the error message. It comes up whenever I try to click on something or even close the screen. It says:

The requested look up key was not found in any active activation content

Anybody know what it means and how I fix it?

hey hun...u may have a hidden type of "ware", like a spyware. It's not a big deal. Just run your virus or spyware protection software on scan and let it work it's magic. If that still does nothing, reinstall IE...

P.S. ---> Firefox is the IE killer...IT'S SOOOOO MUCH BETTER, lol

...had to say it!

Try this.... whispertoscream....

recently solved this problem simple as this if you try and search a URL on the address bar of your internet explorer and it comes up as this

'the requested look up key was not found in any activation content,

follow the simple instructions below to solve this problem

1. right click on internet explorer icon on your desktop

2. click on properties

3. then click on advanced

4. then go down to were it says show friendly URL's and tick the box

easy as that

...that works too, lol!

IE blows.....

I only use it to update my Operating System

FireFox is the best browser out there IMO

Nothing came up when I ran scans, that was the first thing I tried to do. And reinstalling IE is not an option for me. As I am running a cracked copy of XP. But thank you for the help.

If non of that works try this:

using the following command on the START -> RUN

%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe

This uninstalled IE7 and makes it so that you can reinstall it later.

Hope this helps

Thank you for the information, but when I click advance there is nothing that says, show friendly URL's and tick the box. Only thing that comes up is run with different credentials.


And yes everybody I know that FF is WAY better then IE, but I would still like both browsers working....lol

If you are going threw a wireless router and are using a filesharing program. Your router can mess up ie. If this is the case i would 1st turn the filesharing program off and see if it works. If it still does not you could have a bad router as wierd as that might seem...Miles

Thanks, but that is not the problem either. As I am not using one. It is really starting to annoy me.
