To view an ActiveX graph with the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer, you will need to locally install the version of the ActiveX graph control that is shipped with SAS 9.3. Note that the SAS 9.3 ActiveX graph control is fully compatible with graphics output created with previous releases of SAS.

To download the installation program for the SAS 9.3 ActiveX graph control, first point your Web browser to:

SAS 9.3 ActiveX graph control download.

Click the Request Download button for the version of Windows that you are using.

With releases of the graph control prior to SAS 9.3, when attempting to view an ActiveX graph using the 64-bit version of IE, the following error will display in your browser window instead of the graph:

Sorry, there was a problem with the Graph control or plugin in your
browser.  The Graph <name of graph> cannot be displayed.

To see if you are using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer, from within IE, select Help and then About Internet Explorer. If you are running the 64-bit version, you will see "Version x.x.xxxx 64-bit".

Note that when running SAS on a 64-bit Windows machine, SAS will always use the 64-bit version of IE when the Internal browser option is enabled when selecting the following from the SAS menu:

Note that there is no option in SAS to force SAS to use the 32-bit version of IE when the Internal browser option is enabled.

When displaying ActiveX graphics output using SAS on a 64-bit Windows machine, you will need to change the option setting above to enable the Preferred web browser option instead of the Internal browser option.
