Active X

When on-line, I get prompted to install Active X several times (depending on
the site).
I click and select install now and 1 of 2 things happens. It either asks
for the run now or save, or it does nothing.
I've tried the install when asked.
2 or 3 pages later, it will ask again. I selected install 4 or 5 times in
one night.
So, 'is active x 64 bit compliant'?
Is there an issue with IE64?
A combination of the two?
Most importantly, how do I fix it?

The problem is, most folks haven't yet re-written their activex controls for
64-bit. That's why the default is to use the 32-bit version of IE, which
doesn't have a problem.

If you are using IE 64-Bit you will encounter this problem, not until web
developers start writing compatible web based extensions will you able to
get support for content on web that requires whatever such an ActiveX
control you mention requires. In the mean time I would recommend you use 32
bit IE instead. I see IE 64-Bit more of a developer tool at this time, some
sites support it, but its few.
