i have a few questions. does anyone know ho to activate activex controls? every time i try to install an activex control or plugin from www.systemrequirementslab.com it says firefox is searching for plug ins. i have installed the plugin before, and was able to go to something that had a list of things and activex controls was about halfway down. it said enable, disable, & prompt, but i cant find it now. does anyone know how yo enable it so i can install plugins etc?? do i need java runtime enviroment? also, my internet connection hasnt been right since i installed windows again. does anyone know how to set up an internet connection with telewest broadband? i dint know what to set everything to, do i use a proxy etc? any help is appreciated. thanks P.S i only seem to be able to connect to about 5 sites. here, google, systemrequirementslab.com & download.com.. however if i type something into google, it takes forever for the page to load up.. if ever. cheers
