DRAC 4/I Firmware v1.61 issue

I've just upgraded the firmware for a DRAC 4/I in an 1850 from v1.33 to v1.61
I used the RAC_FRMW_LX_R196903.BIN linux binary, and it completed 
successfully.

Using IE7 on Windows XP, with Sun Java 6u11, whenever I login to the HTTPS:// 
interface and try to choose the "Media" link, I get the following:

---
 A DRAC 4 error has occurred.  
  Description: The Virtual Media ActiveX plugin is not installed or running. 
  Error Code: 0x00000001 
  Resolution:
- Ensure that you have administrative rights on this system in order to 
install the plug-in.
- Click the Virtual Media link again. When prompted with a security warning 
asking if you want to install and run the Virtual Media plug-in, click "Yes".
- Verify that your browser settings allow downloading and installing ActiveX 
controls and that the browser security level is set to "Medium" or lower.
- Verify that your browser supports Virtual Media. Please consult the DRAC 4 
user documentation for a list of supported browsers.

I see a "This website wants to install the DRAC 4 Virtual Media Plug-in" bar, 
to which I click "Install", and I'm immediately dumped back to the DRAC login 
prompt.

Does anyone else see this, and/or know a workaround?

Mark.
