13. Why does your system prompt me to accept ActiveX controls?

ActiveX controls are required to validate your ownership of the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.

Edit: Sorry, sounds like this doesn't work.. The activeX part needs to be figured out

1. Download the firefox extension for spoofing user-agents: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59/">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59/</a>
2. Restart firefox and goto: Tools > User Agent Switcher > Options > Options...
3. Click "User Agents" and then "Add"
4. Fill out the window with following info:
Description: Internet Explorer 7 (Windows Vista)
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)
App Name: Microsoft Internet Explorer
App Version: 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)
Platform: Win32
5. Save it, goto Tools > User Agent Switcher > Then click the newly added one. Browse over to http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/vista/ and you should be redirected to a trial sign-up page.
