No login prompt in IE8 after upgrade to firmware 2.12

[asq]

Since upgrading my Terastation 5200 to firmware 2.12, I'm not able to login to admin using IE8- the page background displays but the login prompt doesn't appear. 

 

I've done all the usual things: disabled the popup blocker, cleared temporary files, reset Internet Explorer etc etc

 

Firefox and Chrome work fine.

 

 

The Internet Explorer error details are as follows:

Yes, it happens on all our PCs when using IE8.  We run Windows 7. 

 

Most of our PCs have customised, locked-down versions of Firefox which can't access the Terastation, so Firefox is, unfortunately, not a viable option for us.  Installing Chrome on all the PCs is also not practical.
