Active X by joeb on 06-06-2007 at 07:41 PM

When trying to play a game of poker on MSN i get this:

ActiveX Objects Missing 2 

Messenger games require ActiveX objects in order to play.  Please verify that you have the ability to install ActiveX objects on this machine and relaunch your game.

What does it mean?

How do i sort it?

  1. Installation of Adobe Flash Player may require administrative access to your PC, which is normally provided by your IT department. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.

  2. Click the Install Now button to automatically download and install Adobe Flash Player into Microsoft Internet Explorer.

  3. Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the ActiveX control.

  4. When the installation is complete, you will see the Adobe Flash Player logo and text.
