Chances are your issue is about your Active X controls. The good news is you don't have to be a tech savvy to fix your Active X errors.

Active X controls determine how applications transfer or distribute information over the internet in different languages. An active x control is downloadable and executable from a web browser usually Internet Explorer (IE), and has complete control of the Windows Operating System such as Windows XP or Windows Vista. If you have downloaded an Active X Control, it becomes an element of your Operating System enabling your operating system to perform many tasks such as animation, effects, and allows for interactive programs to run and communicate with one another.

This great control over Microsoft's Windows Operating System, however, comes with certain risks and security issues like viruses, spyware, adware that may wreak havoc to your computer. Usually, you will have to allow it first before an active x control is installed to your computer usually through internet explorer.
