After upgrade to IE8 no more active x possible in sharepoint sites

I installed IE8 and after that succeeded I went to my company site and tried
to edit a table in datasheet view I get this error:
"The Standard View of your list is being displayed because your browser does
not support running ActiveX controls."
I checked als setting of my browser and they do allow activex.

I restored IE7 and now this is also not working with activeX controls on my
sharepoint pages!
Again installing IE8 didn't help.
Any suggestions?
I desperatly need to work with the datasheet views.

The usual explanation is that it is a bogus message caused by faulty
assumptions made when your User-Agent string is parsed by the site.

Check your User-Agent string for corruption or replace it with one
that the site likes better.

Nope, It's Broke or Disabled on mine as well
IE8 is not supporting Activex Across the Board.
Office 2007 and Sharepoint Designer is installed but the designer is having
issues as well.
No other software has been installed.

About the User-Agent String

The User-Agent (or UA) string is sent along in the headers of every HTTP
request so the server knows what type of browser is making the request. For a
quick refresher on the User-Agent string, check out George Shephard's article
in MSDN Magazine. Two MSDN articles describe User-Agent headers:
Understanding User-Agent Strings, and Best Practices for detecting the
Internet Explorer version.

Want Internet Explorer to simulate another version?

Run one of the following scripts and restart all browser instances to see
the change:

•Internet Explorer 6 on WindowsXP (use this to workaround sites that block
IE7 or Windows Vista)
•Internet Explorer 7 on your current OS
•Internet Explorer 7 on Vista
•Internet Explorer 8 on Vista (use this to workaround sites that block
Windows 7)
•Undo User-Agent registry overrides

IE8 users: Check out the free User-Agent Picker add-on, which enables
changing your UA string without restarting the browser.
This addon does not work in IE8 Beta or Win7 Beta, but does work in Release
Candidate and final builds.

Except for the length that looks Ok. So I would try using the UA Picker
tool to see if the site would like something other than MSIE 8.0.

And have you tried compatibility mode? That would have replaced the
MSIE 8.0 with MSIE 7.0 and left everything else as is.

BTW I see you're using the web interface for newsgroups.
Is that via IE8? If so, you would have an example of it running
with ActiveX enabled and the site that wants it that way content. ; )


Good luck

Robert

The error I get from the sharepoint site is;

The Standard View of your list is being displayed because your browser does
not support running ActiveX controls.

Have you tried any of the possible solutions posted at this site:
