Be wary installing activex controls unless you know exactly what they are. They can contain malicious code.How can i get an activex control on my laptop ibm thinkpad windows xp proffesional?
An active x control is a bit of software that web pages try to download to your pc to let programmes run and do stuff. Your internet security settings can prevent this, which can be a good thing as there are some nasty active x controls. However, if this is too strict, it can prevent programmes running that you want to use, like MSN. I'd advice using the default settings, in Internet Explorer click on the tools menu (at the top) and choose Internet options, then the security tab. If the default button isn't greyed out, click it. Then close Internet Explorer and re-open it again, go to MSN and it should work ok. If the default box WAS greyed out, it should all be fine.
