    Hey, would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with this.
    Working from a Toshiba laptop XP.

    Basically I am trying to upload pictures to Facebook, and in order for it to upload them all at a time instead of seperately one needs the ActiveX component. Now, I've downloaded this, but when trying to activate it it says my trial has run out. I don't really know what to do, as as far as I understand it should be free software.

    Any suggestions of how to go about this problem, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks! :)

    ActiveX doesn't have trials... Facebook doesn't as well. I'd check to see if you have a virus/spyware/malware on there. If you mistakenly installed a contaminated ActiveX component, then you have no real security right now.

    Try out some of the malware scanners in this thread:

    Also, consider in the future using a different browser. Then you won't be bothered with all the ActiveX rigamarole.
