Note the following about Internet Explorer 9.0:
When using Internet Explorer 9.0 and Google Chrome Frame, the default is for Windchill actions (for example, New Part or New Document) to launch in a new browser tab instead of a new window. Modify the browser settings to launch actions in a new window:
1. In Internet Explorer, navigate to Tools > Internet Options.
2. Under the General tab, navigate to the Tabs section and click the Settings button.
3. Under When a pop-up is encountered, select Always open pop-ups in a new window.
Avoid working in Compatibility View. In Internet Explorer, navigate to Tools > Compatibility View Settings, clear the following check boxes and then restart your browser:
Display intranet sites in Compatibility View
Display all websites in Compatibility View
Consider the following additional browser information:
If an Unsupported Browser Mode error message appears when you open Windchill, your company may have set your browser to a mode incompatible with Windchill. To return to a default browser configuration, see your system administrator.
If you have enabled Java Web Start using the Preference Management utility, and you are running Windchill on a UNIX platform, you may be prompted to select a helper application when launching an explorer. Select javaws.
