Hi,
There are two components for editing documents that require a PC application.

Have you checked them ?

In the KM standard configuration, ActiveX is used for local editing. If you want to the applet instead, you have to modify the configuration for local editing. You find the configuration under Content Management ® Utilities ® Editing ® Local Editing.
Settings in the browser when using ActiveX
If you are using ActiveX, certain settings need to be made for the users' browsers.
Call up the security settings for the browser: Choose Tools ® Internet Options ® Security ® Custom Level in the menu bar. Make the following settings:
Download signed ActiveX controls = Enable
Download unsigned ActiveX controls = Disable
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe = Disable
Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins = Enable
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting = Enable
