How Do You Enable Activex Control?
ActiveX controls allow Internet Explorer programs to work and interact with each other. Unfortunately, no matter how careful you are with your Internet browsing, adware and spyware can be disguised as ActiveX controls. As a safety feature, many keep their ActiveX controls disabled on their computers. When they are disabled, every time you go to a website that uses an ActiveX control you receive a little “bleep” and a pop-up bar telling you that it needs to be installed in order to effectively view that website. If you find those “bleeps” annoying, you can change your computer settings to enable the ActiveX control at all times. Open Internet Explorer. In the top bar, click on “Tools” and scroll down to the bottom and click on “Internet Options.” With “Internet Options” open, click on the “Security” tab. When the “Security” tab opens, you will be prompted to select a zone. Click on the globe with the label “Internet” underneath it. Once the globe is highlighted, click on “Custom Level.”
