Activex is not Directx.

Activex controller, is a small program (plugin), that allows outside program to control and use parts of your system. Some sites and some online game loaders use this, Disney onine is one of them, these usually acess the files they require to run correctly.

If the activex is signed and trusted theres not much problem with it, however allow a unsinged, unknown activex on your computer is extremely dangerous.

So be warned now! any change u make to your activex security settings cud potentially harm your machines operation. Altho if your careful and sensible, u shud be safe.

To see what activex setting u have:- go Start Menu - Control Panel - Internet Options. Select security tab, and custom level.

Scroll down to main activex sections.

These are settings that shud work safely. But also allow disneys activex to do its stuff ok.

Automatic prompting for Activex controls

Disable

Download signed Activex controls

Prompt (u cud put enable, but i prefer to be told if any activex is being load even the friendly ones, if it stays as prompt, and yellow bar comes up on loading window, asking you if u want to load activex)

Download unsigned Activex controls

Disable (some have changed this to prompt or enable, in hopes this will help, it may do, but is extremely risky, if do change this setting to see if it will help loading, i wud advise putting back straight after).

I however wud say that u shud not need to change this to load disney products, I wud advise not changing this.

Run Activex controls and plug-ins

Enable

Script Activex controls marked safe for scripting

Enable


Again -WARNING- careful when changing these, if your not confident about making these changes, then don't, its only a game and beta at that, its not worth risking your whole computer for!
