Permission denied Error 800A0046 'objIE.Document.parentWindow.screen'
I have a script that I put together for my users a few years ago to get them to share company drives after they logged in to the VPN. The script has worked well over the years with some tweaks needed here and there due to IE version update. As of today, I can no longer get the script to function normally Error:
Line: 93
Char: 5
Error: Permission denied: 'objIE.Document.parentWindow.screen'
Code: 800A0046
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
I'm not sure what changed, but after a few searches on error codes and other elements, I figured I posted it here and see if any of you can help resolve this issue.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem with an HTA program using IE 11 and the With objIE.Document.ParentWindow.Screen command.
I found adding objIE.left = 910 and objIE.top and removed the section With objIE.Document.ParentWindow.Screen and now IE Windows opens fine.
Sub AdditionalComputerInfo
'v3.00 - Changed to HTML Output
strComputer = trim(txtComputerName.Value)
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Navigate("about:blank")
objIE.ToolBar = 0
objIE.StatusBar = 0
objIE.addressbar = 0
objIE.Width = 650
objIE.Height = 900
'added v3.02
objIE.Left = 910
objIE.Top = 20
objIE.Document.Title = " " & uCase(strComputer) & " Information"
'With objIE.Document.ParentWindow.Screen removed in version 3.02
' objIE.Left = 910
' objIE.Top = 20
'End With
Set objDoc = objIE.Document.Body
