A safer way to get this to work:
Globally enabling ActiveX controls can be dangerous, as some websites use ActiveX to install unwanted or malicious controls.
Instead, make sure you are running IE v6 or later. When an ActiveX routine is called, you will get a pale yellow bar at the top of the screen that asks if you want to run the program.
Many online activations need IE because they use ActiveX. That's why I keep IE around, even though I am a diehard Firefox user.
