ActiveX is a component that can be used by your browser. Not explicitly for the internet.

The fact that command buttons look the same in almost any program on a platform is an example of component reusability that is not just limited to ActiveX controls.

Maybe IE is used as an interface?

What other kind of browsing is there ?

You should read my comments again.

To answer the first part....
You said: "Active x is an Internet setting.It has nothing to do with burners."
You imply ActiveX has only internet applications.

I said "ActiveX is a component that can be used by your browser. Not explicitly for the internet. I corrected you is all.

Nobody mentioned browsing the net, only. Though to answer your question:
"What other kind of browsing is there ?"

I can browse a cd-rom, I can browse a photo album on my phone, I can browse my PC's file system. All done via my "browser". No internet connection required.

of going off topic.
I'm trying to help wadders with his problem,not debate browsing with you.
I'd like to get a reply from him,not debate with you.You know damn well
it's Internet browsing being discussed here and the active x option.
You don't need active x to browse a cd.
So stop posting off topic.

Err let me set you straight:
"Active x is an Internet setting.It has nothing to do with burners."
You said it, not me.

"I'm trying to help wadders with his problem,not debate browsing with you."
You asked a question, did you not: "What other kind of browsing is there ?"
It would have been ignorant to not reply.

"You know damn well it's Internet browsing being discussed here and the active x option."
I know damn well it's a DVD problem being discussed here and the lack of an ActiveX control causing it. Again, check the OPs post.

Is that it, can I go now?

active x need to access ftp via the internet router! ... you have to allow your router to access ftp sites!

JUST FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY!
