Question:
When I right click on a .3D file and select Open With Internet Explorer, I get the workspace and the model but no SpinFire UI. How do I get the SpinFire UI to load? Using IE7, I don't even see a workspace. How do I get the SpinFire UI to display?

This is a bug that we need to address for the next version of 8.4. The proposed work-around should work for all versions of IE from 6.x on.
After SpinFire 8.4 is installed, go into the C:\Program Files\Actify\Kernel directory. Right click on the file SpinFireProAx.htm and select Open With->Internet Explorer. Verify that the SpinFire UI is displayed. You can now open .3D files from this interface. If you'd like, you can right click on SpinFireProAx.htm and Send To->Desktop. You can now treat this icon like the 8.3 Reader icon, except no file will be loaded and it'll load the SpinFire 8.4 UI (Browser mode) and be constrained by the 8.4 licensing. And unless your IT group objects, you could check Internet Options->Advanced->Security->Allow active content to run in files on My Computer so that you won't be prompted toallow the ActiveX component to run everytime you use the Browser.
