This code uses an ActiveX object that is understood only by IE
browsers and close relatives. It has an embed path within it that is
invalid code, but that often is used and works for browsers that do
not support ActiveX, such as Firefox and Opera. If you change to not
autostart with the parameter in the main ActiveX path, this change
will be seen only by IE browsers. A change would have to be made in
the embed path, which apparently is defaulting to autostart, to defeat
autostart on non-IE browsers. The code appears to be several years
old. If you have both an IE and a Firefox or Opera browser, try
viewing with both.
