I have a home surveillance system that I can view from anywhere using the
web. In order to view the cameras a small ActiveX applet needs to be
installed on the device I am using. This is normally automatic, when my
system senses that the viewing system does not have the applet, it is sent
to the new system to be installed.
That does not seem to happen when I try viewing my site using my AT&T Tilt.
The Tilt is running Windows Mobile 6.0 and I am using the installed version
of IE.

Can anyone offer me advice on how to allow the applet to download and
install?

Thanks

You can't- the Tilt uses a different OS and processor than a desktop PC,
and doesn't support ActiveX controls.

You might try Viewing i "through" your om PC, using a remote desktop client
like LogMeIn.com's free LogMeIn service. You connect to your home PC and
see it's display on the Tilt as well as control the PC remotely from the
Tilt.
