The solution was to uninstall a security update "Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows 'Your Version of Windows Here' (KB973525)"
The link to the update is here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=158202. It appears that Microsoft in it's infinite wisdom accidentally put the Visio Viewer's CLSID in the kill list. Uninstalling this update, resolved the issue and I can now open Visio documents in IE.
This solution has saved my life. This has been very helpful and easy to do. I uninstalled the security patch and Visio Viewer worked. Thanks!
