Which ActiveX component are you trying to load? Can you post the HTML that should be triggering it's download? — Adrian Wragg, Sep 15 '14 at 09:23

Can you add the content of checkIE() to your question? That strikes me as very relevant. — Adrian Wragg, Sep 15 '14 at 10:54
var checkIE=function() { var client = window.navigator.appName; if(client == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") { return 1; } return 0; }; — pradeep, Sep 15 '14 at 11:29

Your issue isn't in the ActiveX as you suspected, but in your detection of Internet Explorer. Your code, from the comments, is:

var checkIE=function() {
    var client = window.navigator.appName;
    if(client == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") { return 1; }
    return 0;
};

However, IE11 doesn't return Microsoft Internet Explorer; according to MSDN it returns Netscape. Replace your IE detection with one of the answers from How to detect IE11? instead and you should find your issue solved.
