Implementing the 7 Beta version with the DisableGPURendering set to True does seem to stop the problem. I can go back and forth with that one setting set alternatively to False and True, and when it's set to false the bug occurs and when it's true, it does not.

We are running IE 9 on the machines in question, so that is a possible connection.

"Snow Crashes" With PWB 2.11.5+

On some of our older HP desktops running Windows 7 32-bit, it seems that when a confirmation button pops up the contents of the PWB window get all scrambled and it will not recover until I quite PWB and start it again. This doesn't happen in 2.11.4, but does happen with 2.11.5 and 2.11.6. A specific...

Thank you!! I installed the Win98 version and the problem disappeared. I hadn't seen the beta posting yet, but I'll upgrade to that soon. Thanks for investigating this problem.

We are using 32-bit Windows 7. I never had this problem on XP, although I'm not sure whether IE had been upgraded to 8, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had been. I'm sure this is a confluence of PWB/IE8/Windows 7/and this plugin.

Yes. You can do the following to test it. This process will force you to create an account of sorts, but it's not a trial membership, it just grants you access to free resources on Ancestry. Using I.E., go to the U.K. Census Free Sample page http://search.ancestry.com/iexec/Default.aspx?htx=List&...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and the problem still persists. I also tried changing out the INI file with the default one and just adding the license key and the IE emulation mode directive and the problem still occurs. Specifically, what happens is the following. The browser goes to the p...

PWB Crashes with Ancestry Enhanced Image Viewer on Windows 7

We have just upgraded to Windows 7 and I'm running PWB 2.11.1 and IE 8 here. When I install the Ancestry Enhanced Image Viewer Active X Control (mfimgvwr.ocx) it causes PWB to immediately crash (it stops responding and Windows shuts it down). Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
