Thanks for the detailed reply - it seems the choice is between a rock and a hard place, either use UI3 which you describe as having a 'terrible performance' or Activex which Fenderman calls 'old crap' and 'garbage'! Quite honestly I'd prefer to get it working again with IE/Activex - I much prefer the interface, the images are clearer, the navigation is better and despite Fenderman's opinion it has been working for us perfectly for years until the recent updates screwed it up. If anyone can tell me how to fix it I'd be very grateful, the exact symptoms are described in my first post at the top of this thread, it's clear (according to subsequent posts by other users) that I'm not the only one who suddenly lost the use with IE/Activex after the recent updates.
