I have had IE9 installed on both my Win 7 workstation and Win 7 laptop. Both are 64 bit Dells.
See attached charts.
When I remove IE9 and go back to IE8 the problem goes away. I tried installing IE10 and the problem comes back.
To further characterize the problem, consider a button on a web page that spawns a child web page. That child web page has a button that spawns another child web page. When the third web page is spawned the second web page vanishes. This was not happening until IT pushed system patches to the Win 7 system. There is one other person who has IE9 installed on his machine and he does not have this problem. I have Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 installed on my system.
I am told by IT that we have no GP that would be causing this but I have my doubts.
Any ideas?
Have you tried Mozilla or Chrome?
Check the Java versions that are required and make sure you have the proper ones. The other item to check the compatibility settings for your windchill site- if the compatibilty is kicking in you will see issues such as this. Also try clearing out the browser cache. I have seen different behaviors between 32 bit and 64 bit explorer windows, some pages won't work on 64 bit, where it will work fine on 64 bit browsers. If there are any security software I would disable that as well. We have seen McAffee HIPS causing issues and they need to add exceptions to it.
I would also try Chrome and see if the issue persists.
