ActiveX and scripts... The Sims doesn't work at all

Question

Hi!&nbsp;I have an Alienware: i7 4th generation, 16gb of RAM, 2gb of GPU, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.I installed The Sims 3 and several expansion packages. It had been working for a long time, but a month ago it stopped. Everytime I start the game, the blue control panel of The Sims displays a windows and tells me that ActiveX is not enabled. I tried to unistall Origin and all The Sims games with a powerful unistaller software, I updated every driver and every software but it still doesn't work. When I click on Play in the control panel, a black screen comes and the game crashes.I wrote several times to Origin support and they never replyed me back.Is anyone here with my same problem?Thank you guys

ActiveX errors have to do with IE settings, I believe. Try messing with your ActiveX settings this way:

Control Panel > Internet Options > Security tab > Custom Level... > Make sure "Enable" is selected under Download ActiveX Controls and Plugins

It might be worth a shot to just reset all your security settings for IE anyway. No harm in restoring IE to its natural, default state. 🙂
