We are in the process of getting more of our process done in PDM/Windchill. This means our ERP person is starting to use PDM/Windchill to move things through the process. One issue we are having is that ProductView will not work on her computer. In a PDM/Windchill window, the thumbnail is there and hovering over the thumbnail opens a larger thumbnail. But clicking the "open in productview" icon results in a productview window that is all black.

WF3 / Windchill9.1 / Windows XP

Anyone have any ideas?

Install Productview on her computer and set the visualization preference to Yes, to use the full product instead of PVLite.

Found out my issue. I thought I was downloading the latest and greatest from the PTC website. Ends up I was downloading from our PDM install, which is a year or so old. Once I actually downloaded the PV files from the PTC website, use windows control panel to remove the previous install, install the fresh copy , then finally everything works.
