hi jdoedtman. There are a couple of things so this may get a little long winded.
First you can set your active x settings on your computer by going to: Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Internet Options. In Internet Options select the "Security" tab. Towards the bottom of that screen you'll see "Security Settings for this Zone". You'll see a "Custom" button and a "Default" button. Click on "Custom". Scroll down to ActiveX Controls see more and Plugins. You can set them from there. I have everything set to Enable or Prompt.

Ok, the second issue I found was that I had set IE to use a proxy server for my LAN settings. I had set the address to 0.0.0.0 I had done this as an alternative to uninstalling IE when I switched to Firefox. This is in Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Internet Options. Click on the "Connections" tab. At the bottom you see LAN setings. Click on the LAN Settings button. On the lower half of the screen you see the Proxy Server section. You'll see a check box with the line: Use a proxy server for your LAN. If this is checked you may have to uncheck it to upload your video and music and then recheck the box when your done. If the box is not already checked then it's not a problem. Don't check it if it isn't already. Unless you have a reason to.

I don't know if this helps at all or not, but that was my experience with it.
