Symptoms:
User clicked on an application icon for
the first time and the application did not
appear on his or her desktop. Instead, the
user was returned to the user site or got
an error message from anti-virus, personal
firewall or other protection software.
Possible Causes:
· Old version of Internet Explorer
· Local settings preventing ActiveX
plug-in download or operation
· Protection software preventing
ActiveX plug-in download or operation
· The Plug-In was downloaded correctly
but failed to install
Possible Resolutions:
· Upgrade to more recent version
of Internet Explorer. CockpIT client software
supports IE5 and above, but IE5.5 and above
is recommended. To determine which version
is running follow these instructions:
1. Open Internet Explorer on the user’s
desktop
2. Click on the Help drop down menu
3. Click on “About Internet Explorer”
Download more recent version of Internet
Explorer if necessary.
· Change the security settings in
Internet Explorer. Check the security settings
of Internet Explorer.
Tools - Internet Options - Security
- Custom Level.
Make sure that the option "Download
signed ActiveX controls" is "enabled"
or "prompt".
· Try to temporarily disable any
protection software that may cause this
type of failure. If the plug-in downloaded
but failed to start, remove plug-in files
and settings, login to CockpIT again and
allow CockpIT to re-install the client file..
