Hi everyone,
I am a newbie at the Community boards but have been on Ebay since August of 2008 and Auctiva since March of 2009. Just wanted to say Hi and also attempt to assist you with the Auctiv photo uploader problem.
I accessed Windows help after having this problem of not being able to use the Auctiva Uploader. It worked with Windows XP, but I am using Windows Vista now. The following are the instructions for Turning on Certain features in Windows:
Turn Windows features on or off (from Microsoft Help)
Some programs and features that are included with Windows, such as Internet Information Services, must be turned on before you can use them. Certain other features are turned on by default, but you can turn them off if you don’t use them.
In earlier versions of Windows, to turn a feature off you had to uninstall it completely from your computer. In this version of Windows, the features remain stored on your hard disk, so you can turn them back on if you want to. Turning off a feature does not uninstall the feature, and it does not reduce the amount of hard disk space used by Windows features.
Click the Start button , click Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To turn a Windows feature on, select the check box next to the feature. To turn a Windows feature off, clear the check box.
Click OK.
Make sure you see the Active X Installer Box and that it is checked. If you do not see the box, then I would suggest you try to Reset your Internet Settings. There's a program called Microsoft FixIt that you can access by clicking on Microsoft Help and searching for Microsoft FixIt or Reset my Internet Settings.
I hope this resolves your problems.
Blessings,
