Microsoft developed these add-ons as a small part of their Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) and Component Object Model (COM) technologies, in order to make Windows programs and Internet Explorer run as smoothly as possible with a minimum of programming. You need these add-ons to view websites, run media and protect your system from malware.

What is 'Active X'?

Active X is a set of utility controls developed by Microsoft Corporation to work with its popular browser Internet Explorer (IE). Because Active X was not initially designed to allow for compatibility with Macintosh products or other browser systems, such as Mozilla's Firefox and Apple's Safari, yet these controls are often required for advanced functionality when using popular websites such as Facebook, chat rooms, and many video and gaming programs, there are also a number of continually evolving and ever more advanced tools called 'plug-ins' which can help to assist with incompatibility issues.

How Do I Know if I Have Active X on My Computer?

The very first step you will need to take before you begin installing it to make sure that it is not already installed on your computer. There is an easy way to check for the presence of Active X by visiting a website that offers an Active X check test. Websites such as www.activextest.com offer a free test that takes just a few seconds to complete.

How Do I Install Active X on My Computer?

Because Active X comes pre-installed on nearly every PC that runs on a Windows system, and the Active X installation test will be able to confirm this for you, what you will need to do to install Active X controls on your computer is actually to enable them to run by changing certain settings in your Internet Explorer browser's 'Security Options' menu bar tab.

Here are the steps to take to install Active X on your computer:

Open Internet Explorer (IE)
Look up to the top of your computer screen to the menu bar
Locate a menu bar option labeled 'Tools' and click on it
From the drop-down menu, drag your cursor down to 'Internet Options'
You will see a series of tabs. Select 'Security' Options
Make sure the 'Internet' picture is active (click on it to make it active) *
Scroll down to where you see a button labeled 'Custom level...' and click on that
This will bring up a number of options for enabling and configuring Active X on your computer
Click 'Enable' or 'Prompt' for 'Download Signed Active X Controls' (it is recommended to only allow automatic Active X downloads for sites that are recognized or recommended by Microsoft)
Click 'Enable' for 'Run Active X Controls and plug-ins'
Click 'Enable' for 'Binary and script behaviors'
Click 'Enable' for 'Script Active X controls marked safe for scripting'
Click 'Enable' for 'Allow previously unused ActiveX controls to run without prompt'

Be sure to click the 'Yes' each time you are prompted to save your changes
Click on the Security Settings 'OK' button
Your version of IE may dictate what you need to do next – with some versions you can simply exit out of the browser window and re-open it to enable Active X controls. However, other versions may require you to restart your computer itself before Active X is enabled
Congratulations! You have now installed Active X on your computer!
