    what site sorry? do you mean FB
    It said 'A webpage tried to use an ActiveX control or script but your security settings did not allow it.
    If you trust the publisher of the ActiveX control or script, you can allow it to run by removing the website address from the Restricted sites list. If the website is not on the Restricted sites list, you can add it to the Trusted sites list. For more information, see [URL="mk:@MSITStore:C:\WINDOWS\Help\iexplore.chm::/zone_ovr.htm"]Understanding security zones[/URL]. If that doesn't work, try deleting the temporary Internet files. If you are unable to change these settings, your computer administrator might not allow you to make the change.

    Why am I not surprised that FB uses ActiveX for uploading? ActiveX is known for its security issues. Is there no other way to upload pictures?

    do you have the latest java install as that is what the facebook uploader uses. On google chrome needed to download it and its much more handy then the "simple uploader"
