ActiveX ControlsSay "goodbye" to stale, static Web content forever.
And say "hello" to ActiveX™. ActiveX controls are actual software components embedded in Web pages that run in your browser. The excitement of an action game. The richness of a multimedia CD-ROM title. The power of a productivity application. ActiveX controls bring all this to the Internet now.

Plus, ActiveX controls are easy to use. Whenever you visit a Web page that uses an ActiveX control, Internet Explorer automatically checks to see if you have the needed control installed. If you don't, it installs it for you - using our Authenticode technology, of course. And, unlike other "plug-in" type applications, ActiveX controls are there only when you need them, and not taking up valuable resources when you don't.

Support for ActiveX controls opens up endless possibilities for new Web content. You'll be able to shop, learn, communicate, teach, and interact with an almost infinite number of Internet resources. And how many browsers on the market let you do all this? Just one - Microsoft Internet Explorer.


Then find out what ActiveX Controls can do for you.
