RE: ActiveX and Thinkpads

     This entire thread seems to beusing the incorrect terms. ActiveX 
     should be DirectX (DirectPlay,DirectDraw, etc..).  I too got the 
     DirectX 3 drivers to work on my 760C with the game Heroes of Might and 
     Magic II.  Dunno what the new drivers do though, seem just as good as 
     2.0.

I just got the ActiveX 3.0 and Red Alert going on my 760CD. It required 
the latest bios and display driver. The only trick left was to select 
640x400 instead of 640x480 in the Red Alert setup.
