Hi All,

I have a strange problem.

I have been given a project written in vs2003 that I need to get working in vs2008. The problem seems to exist in both vs2003 and vs2008. At the start of the project a webservice seems to get called (of which I dont have access). and it seems to make a reference to the windows live sign in ActiveX control IDBHO.IDBHOCtrl. The object appears to get instantiated but fails without any error details when trying to use the method GetAuthenticatedUserToken(). If I set Firefox to be my default browser, it seems to negate this problem and the classic asp page that I am trying to get to loads. Does anyone have any experience with this ActiveX control and shed any light on what I.E. is expecting to use the method correctly?

GetAuthenticatedUserToken() is probably linked to an email address or account on Live. Half of the token is in the page, and it authenticates against the LIVE Server.
