ActiveX Filtering?

garys_missus

Hi all,
Have been trying to play scrabble online but once again am having problems. My flash player is up to date, but I am unable to turn off Active X filtering, this appears to be what is stopping me playing. Anybody have any ideas?
Many thanks.

If you go to the top of your page and click 'tools', ActiveX Filtering is in the drop down box. Just click on it to disable.

How you do that depends on which browser - and which version of that browser - you are using.

ActiveX is a well-known computer security risk, so this is not a good thing to do.

If you're using IE, it's far better just to add the site (assuming you trust its content) to IE's Trusted Sites security zone. That way the risky parts of ActiveX are permitted just for that website, and not for every website you visit.
