Yahoo not loading on PWB 2.11.9

[amutch]

We're still running PWB 2.11.9 on our public Internet computers. Starting yesterday, Yahoo won't load in this version of PWB. You simply get a blank screen. I tried the following troubleshooting steps:

- Downloaded and installed PWB 2.11.9 on a computer
- Browsed to www.yahoo.com
- See blank screen

The test computer has the same set up as the public Internet computers.
- Windows 7 w/SP1 - 64 bit
- IE 11 - Update version 11.0.27
- PWB 2.11.9

Thanks!

Does Yahoo work in Internet Explorer on the same computer logged in as the same person?

Yes

See attached image. I'm showing the version of PWB on it.

The Yahoo web site does not seem to work with PWB v3 IE either we are checking into it.

I would recommend switching to PWB v3 CEF which is Chrome based instead of Internet Explorer based.

OK. We already Chrome locked down with Group Policy. We've kept PWB so if patrons prefer IE or run into problems with sites rendering in Chrome, they have an alternative. We don't really need another version of Chrome for our situation.

PWB v3 CEF can use either IE or Chrome with the following settings.

[Browser]
CheckOpenIE=True
- or -
CheckOpenCEF=True

[Files]
CheckOpenIEFile=C:\path_to\filter_file.txt

Using the above settings you can control which sites open in a Chrome window and which sites open in an Internet Explorer window.
