When accessing a asx file in internet explorer 10, browser gets a "This page can't be displayed" error
When accessing a asx file in internet explorer 10, browser gets a "This page can't be displayed" error. This seems to be the same bug as kb974538 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974538 ), which seems to be caused by Live Photo Gallery
To fix this in Windows 8 x64 with IE 10, I used the fix for windows 7 that microsoft offered (copied below)
- On an account with Administration privileges, choose Start and type notepad.exe.
- Copy and paste the contents of the box below.
- Save the file as fix.reg.
- Double-click on the fix.reg file to add it to your registry.
