Solution or Workaround
If you are receiving this message while uploading images, than your web server may not support some of the newer functions of VBscript.
This error message could be an indication that your server has an older or outdated version of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) and/or VBscript. You should contact your web host or server administrator and request that they update the server with the most current MDAC and VBscript versions (they would need to contact Microsoft for this).
Typically, this error only occurs on older web servers with an outdated version of VBScript installed, and on some Non-US Windows versions. If you recently upgraded your server's operating system or installed service packs / patches, this problem may be related. Visit Microsoft's site for assistance and downloads.
Please note, our free Technical Support does not cover this issue, as this error is directly related to your web server software.
IMAGE SIZE NOTE:
Be sure you are only uploading image files, the upload component was built for images (.jpg, .gif) with a size of less than 500k. For other files you should use your own FTP software.
