Active X?

[charlie61]

There's a message at the top about the website wanting to run Windows Media Player and to click on the "ActiveX Control". Is it okay to do that? What's strange is that Windows Media Player is enabled (I viewed my Add-ons to see if it is listed & it shows as being enabled & that it runs w/o requiring permission) and I have that icon in the lower left of my desktop. I don't know if I should click on the option "ActiveX Control." Any suggestions? The OS is Vista.

What website?
But usually ok, if you are trying to view some movie or something

It is a site with a mp3 file that comes up when you go to certain page. It is a hidden mp3 file.

Oh that site
Well if you want to listen to, that site's music
Then you probably should allow it
Normally I prefer to download any movie\music file and play it myself
But some sites like youtube (for instance) is better viewed online
But I don't want to guess the site all day

That site is safe
It just plays background music
It's ok to install the ActiveX

Hi Kimsland,

Thanks so much for the information. I checked the "manage add ons" and found "audio mp3 moniker class" wmp.dll was disabled. I enabled it and then tried the page and it works now. Thanks again.
