Hey Scotty,
I'm trying to open myitlab for school and it's saying I need to install activex control, I installed some cleaner fix thing. That didn't work so where can I find this thing?
Thanks

ActiveX control is a windows feature. It’s not natively supported on the mac. Most likely the file that you are trying to use requires a piece of software written for windows. Internet Explorer for example. ActiveX controls can be found within certain (poorly written) web pages. It’s not an internet standard so anyone using them in webpages are cutting themselves out of the rest of the browser world.

You can use virtualization to view the file but that may be overkill in your case. It’s an old technology.
