>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).

Security can definitely be the problem, but "crashes" needs clarification. And testing code without the device attached is futile IMO. Is your C++ application generating this HTML/script for you or? Compare your generated code with the examples I pointed out, it may give you a clue as to what has changed.
