Ha.
I have just found the answer to my own question (see below). IE8 is not
compatable with Bio Protection. "They" are aware of the problem but haven't
got a solution yet. See
http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topi...ith-explorer-8
Look for piece by 'marko3296' a short way down the page.
I hope this saves others here from the frustration of IE8 and Bio
Protection.
