When I start a game on MSN Messenger, there's supposed to be a pop-up that asks if I want to run the ActiveX Control, but I don't receive this pop-up. This is the message that it gives me:

ActiveX Objects Missing 2
Messenger games require ActiveX objects in order to play. Please verify that you have the ability to install ActiveX objects on this machine and relaunch your game.

I've tried everything from changing firewall settings, to reinstalling MSN and Internet Explorer 7. It started around the time I downloaded Service Pack 2. I'm not sure if it has something to do with that.

Can someone please help me, and show me steps or options that I can do to fix this problem?

Thanks.
