I was determined to figure out the problem so I added FB to my Trusted Sites
and then changed the security on Active X Controls and Scripting to the
lowest setting and it FINALLY let me install the Active X control and then I
returned the security settings to normal and it's been fine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I DO appreciate them!
