Thanks for the link. We can not seem to make the old working code to work. It used to work fine and now the application crashes. I downloaded the drivers, but I don't have the hardware, so I can not test really. The way it works is that HTML with ActiveX (I assume) is generated and displayed using C++ application and the code similar to what I showed is in HTML (this one is the simplest).

I'm wondering what could be there that make it not to work anymore. Say, could somehow tightened security in IE8 affect it or anything else?

That's essentially the question.
