How to enable ActiveX
Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer (SP2) displays an
Information
Bar (top of the web page just below the address
bar) with information about downloads and blocked content
such as pop-up windows, JavaScript, applets and ActiveX
plugins. This information helps to avoid potentially harmful
files that you might otherwise accept from the Internet.
After updating to SP2 the settings will be set for the highest
security possible, so you will need to adjust your security
settings.
ArtistScope
(Copysafe), like Macromedia (Flash) and Microsoft, sign
their plugins and installers with a digital certificate
known as Authenticode. Authenticode certificates
validate the identity of software developers via top level
authorities such as Thawte and Verisign. They can be applied
by the software's owner only and can be trusted.
Allow
ActiveX signed with Authenticode certificate
- Open Internet Explorer.
- On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
- On the Security tab, click Custom Level.
The
Default Level will automatically set your security
level to trust signed controls, but prompt for all
others that are not signed.. If you are on a networked workstation
you may be unable to change this setting, your administrator
might have control over the setting. To check and see what
these settings are, or to define your own, click on Custom
Level.
Stop blocking software downloads with the Information
Bar
This
procedure will allow Web sites to automatically prompt you
when downloading files and software (bypassing the Information
Bar).
- Open Internet Explorer.
- On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
- On the Security tab, click Custom Level.
- Do one or both of the following:
- Click Enable for all options involving Authenticode
and trusted certificates.
- Click Prompt for all options that are untrusted.
To install the ActiveX:
- Click the Information Bar.
- Click Install Software.
