This issue can be resolved by opening their IE browser and going to "Tools" and selecting "Internet Options" and then selecting the "Security" tab and then click the "Custom Level" button which will bring up security settings window. The ActiveX control settings are usually the first settings in the list. The first 3 settings in the list are mostly for downloading 3rd party ActiveX controls which in most cases you never need to do and can be either be set to "Prompt" or "Disable".

ActiveX controls are small programs, sometimes also called " add-ons, " that are used on the Internet. They can enhance your browsing experience by allowing animation or they can help with tasks such as installing security updates at Microsoft Update.

Some Web sites require you to install ActiveX controls to see the site or perform certain tasks on it. When you visit such a site, Internet Explorer asks if you want to install the ActiveX control.



FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTION TO INSTALL ACTIVE X CONTROL:-

Step 1 Research the website that wants to install the ActiveX control. Since these are actually miniature applications, they are capable of accessing your computer and potentially causing harm. Make sure the page is from a source that you recognize, such as a major corporation's website. If in doubt, you can enter the website address into a search engine to see if anyone has raised concerns about the site. If not, it is likely safe to visit.



Step 2 Open the page that requires the ActiveX control in Internet Explorer. It may take a minute to load, but assuming your computer doesn't already have the control installed, the Information Bar will pop up at the top of the screen, directly beneath the address bar. The control will only be installed once you give it permission to. This is a safety measure to ensure sites cannot simply install any programs they want.



Step 3 Click on the Information Bar, and a menu will appear. Click "Install ActiveX Control" to continue. A new window will pop up asking you if you really want to let this site install a new control. Select "Yes," and give the browser a moment to process your request. Once it has finished, the website should load the site that required the control to function properly. If it does not, simply restart your browser for the change to take effect.

ughh, properly, it matter on what "adobe" you're setting up, you do comprehend that the Adobe employer makes the two Reader and Flash, and diverse different application titles. in case you have become that with Reader deploy, then confident, they use their own particular downloader/installer software, that it makes use of a few lively x code to function wisely. in case you have become this with a Flash deploy, then no, flash is purely downloaded as an executable, and that, as you need to understand, does not use lively x.
