After spending hours on resolving the same issue I followed the above steps (except the UAC option) AND the following one that I have not come across on any forum so I thought it prudent to share:
1. Open up the IE browser
2. Select "Tools" > "Internet Options"
3. View the 'Browsing' settings section
4. Tick the "Enable third-party browser extensions*" check box
5. Restart IE Browser
