Problems With ActiveX?

When browsing for desktop sharing, visitors using Windows Internet Explorer may receive alert boxes that look something like one of the following:

You are receiving these errors because the desktop sharing webpage uses special ActiveX controls to enhance the browsing experience of the TalksLive.com conference sites.

Visitors have an option for fixing these problems in Internet Explorer:

Firefox ActiveX Add-on

In Firefox click on "Tools" then "Extensions" a pop up window will open click on "Get More Extensions" then copy and paste this URL  https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/ into the address bar of the page that opened. A new page will open about "IE Tab" an Firefox extension from Taiwan. A quarter of the way down that webpage is an "Install Now" link click on it and a pop up box will appear then click on "Install Now" when it has finished downloading the ActiveX extension.

Restart Firefox and go to "Tools" then "IE Tab Options" and type in the ActiveX websites or pages that you want to see and add them to the list like this picture below.

For example type in the "URL:" box :- http://woodiescciclub.com and http://talkslive.com then click on the buttons "Add" and "OK". Now go to a webpage that needs an ActiveX control extension. Here is an example http://talkslive.com/imageservers/server03.htm of a webpage that has one.
