    ActiveX oddity - Please Help

    Hi all,

    I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction.

    I wrote a fairly simple ActiveX control in VB6. It's deployed as an .ocx file along with a HTML/Javascript based IE app. Now here's the oddity, it works fine on most machines but on 1 out of 3 or 4 machines IE crashes.

    On 2 machines I have the same version of IE (6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633(Q867801)) and windows (xp sp1), all IE settings identical, all dependency files identical, and yet one works and one doesn't.

    When I set IE to prompt ActiveX controls, on the machine that doesn't work I get the ActiveX warning but the control never loads, instead IE crashes.

    My control was added to my html page with a simple object tag:
    <object classid="clsid:[myclassid]" id="MyActiveXid">

    Any thoughts on why it might not be working? Any thoughts on further tests I can do to try to solve this? Any other forums you could suggest that might be able to help me with my object?

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Mike

    [edit] ps This is all being deployed client-side
