I don't know a good way of doing it without first installing Windows.
That's the only way, as there is no ActiveX equivalent for Mac OS X, as the thread I posted indicates.Instal windows is the last thing I want to do.
After suffering so much from Vista I don't want to see windows again...
ActiveX is only available on Windows operating systems, and as a result webpages that require it will not work on Linux or Mac.
ActiveX integration with the Windows operating system has made it a target for malicious software.
