How to enable
ActiveX
Copysafe is supported in all Windows web browsers (more than 95%
of Internet users).
Internet Explorer
SP2
The latest Internet
Explorer (SP2) displays an Information Bar (top of the web page
just below the address bar) with information about downloads and blocked
content such as pop-up windows, JavaScript, applets and ActiveX plugins.
This information helps to avoid potentially harmful files that you might
otherwise accept from the Internet. After updating to
SP2 the settings will be set for the highest security possible,
so you will need to adjust your security settings.
ArtistScope (Copysafe),
like Macromedia (Flash) and Microsoft, sign their plugins and installers
with a digital certificate known as Authenticode. Authenticode
certificates validate the identity of software developers via top level
authorities such as Thawte and Verisign. They can be applied by the
software's owner only and can be trusted.
Allowing ActiveX
signed with an Authenticode certificate
- Open Internet Explorer.
- On the Tools
menu, click Internet Options.
- On the Security
tab, click Custom Level.
The Default Level
will automatically set your security level to trust signed controls, but
prompt for all others that are not signed.. If you are on a networked
workstation you may be unable to change this setting, your administrator
might have control over the setting. To check and see what these settings
are, or to define your own, click on Custom Level.
To stop blocking
file and software downloads with the Information Bar
This procedure will
allow Web sites to automatically prompt you when downloading files and
software (bypassing the Information Bar).
- Open Internet Explorer.
- On the Tools
menu, click Internet Options.
- On the Security
tab, click Custom Level.
- Do one or both
of the following:
- Click Enable
for all options involving Authenticode and trusted certificates.
- Click Prompt
for all options that are untrusted.
To install the
ActiveX control:
- Click the Information
Bar.
- Click Install
Software.
