I get an "Error 5" or "Invalid Key" error message when the program launches, and many screens are blank.

This was a problem in the initial releases. Download and install the latest version to fix it. Back

Why isn't there any help?

There is! Press [F1] on any Browser Extension Manager screen to find out what it has to say. Anyone using the original version of the program may have trouble browsing the Help file, but this has now been sorted out -- download the latest version to resolve the problem. Back.

The "Backup" and "Restore" Registry Settings options don't work.

Make sure you have a copy of REGEDIT.EXE available on your PC; the Browser Extension Manager uses this to make a copy of the Internet Explorer Registry settings. Back

I want to disable a particular ActiveX control, but it's not displayed on the list.

The Browser Extension Manager only displays ActiveX Controls that are installed on your system, and correctly registered in the Registry. If you're sure your control is correctly installed and should be on the list, email us at support@nuetools.co.uk with more information. Back

I can't enable a particular ActiveX control.

The Browser Extension Manager only lets you enable controls that it has itself disabled. This is to prevent someone from accidentally enabling a control that has been turned off by a Windows or other security update, introducing a potential security hole onto your PC. Back

I've deleted all three toolbar layouts with the Browser Extension Manager, but they haven't been rebuilt.

The toolbar layouts will be rebuilt when Windows needs to do so. No need to worry - it's entirely happy without them. Back

Deleting the default Explorer Bars doesn't remove them from my system.

This is the way Internet Explorer works; not sure why, though on balance it's probably a good thing. If you find Browser Extension Manager doesn't remove an add-on Explorer Bar, then tell us more at support@nuetools.co.uk. Back

The "Searching" page doesn't display all the Search URLs present on my system.

This is a known deficiency with the Browser Extension Manager; it's possible to have multiple search prefixes defined, but we only address one at the moment. This issue will be fixed in a future release. Back
