MLXchange - PC Setup and Preparation Checklist

Important PC Settings for MLXchange – Six Easy Steps To configure your computer for optimum use with MLXchange, please follow the five easy steps. These settings are required in order to perform all the functions within MLXchange. Step One

Turn Off Pop-up Blockers: MLXchange does not work properly if you have pop-up blockers turned on. If you have a pop-up blocker or several pop-up blockers enabled, you will need to turn them off or allow pop-ups from MLXchange. This includes any add-on toolbars (e.g., Google, Yahoo, etc.).

Step Two

Install ActiveX Controls. Before you log into MLXchange, you need to download some small files to provide added performance, security and functionality. Go to http://mfr.mlxchange.com/ax and then click the install button on the page. Depending on your PC settings, Internet Explorer may not automatically download these programs. Internet Explorer will display a very light yellow line just below the toolbar at the top of the screen. You will need to click on that line to accept the ActiveX downloads. You should see red checks as the files are installing. ** Windows NT, 2000 or XP Operating System on Office Network. If you experience a problem loading MLXchange and your computer uses the Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista operating system, you must be logged into Windows as an Administrator, so that MLXchange has permission to configure the browser. If you are using an office computer and you do not have Administrator privileges, contact your office manager or system administrator.

Step Three

Internet Explorer Setting. Open Internet Explorer, click on Tools. Click on the General Tab, scroll down to Settings under Browsing History. Enable or click on the radio button option that says “Every Time I visit the Web Page Page” and click OK.

General Tab: Click on Settings (middle of the box next to delete in the Browsing History area). Enable or click on the radio button option that says “Every Time I visit the Web Page” and click OK. Recommended Disk Space: 100-250 MB.
