MessageJohn, you could try the following. It's just a guess though, but worth a try. Click on the Tools menu in internet explorer click on 'Internet Options' Go to the Security Tab click on Custom Then go down the tree to 'Download Signed ActiveX Controls' Then go to Enable and make sure it is checked or press space bar on it. Then click OK and Ok again.
