# How to enable ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer?

Endpoint Central supports two modes of viewing remote computers: **ActiveX Viewer** and **HTML5 Viewer**. The ActiveX Viewer uses the browser’s ActiveX components. Therefore, the browser from which the connection is established must have ActiveX controls enabled.

1. Select **Tools --> Internet Options** from Internet Explorer.
2. Select the **Security** tab in the Internet Options dialog.
3. Select the appropriate web content zone and click **Custom Level**.
4. Under **ActiveX controls and plug-ins**, set the following options to **Enable** or **Prompt**:
   1. Download signed ActiveX controls
   2. Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins
   3. Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting
5. Click **OK** to save the security settings.
6. Click **OK** again to save and close the Internet Options dialog.

**Note:** It is recommended to add the product server URL under the Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer.
