i dont think this demo has an expiration date, its a pretty old game. i even un-onstalled it and redownloaded it from a different site. and i tried starting it again and briefly saw
something about activex?

You could try updating your graphics card drivers. I had a similar problem, I would start a game and it would just exit out almost instantly, updated the drivers and it works fine.
