(Problem) Grey empty Word window shows up while opening .doc or .docx files with virtual Internet Explorer 9

Hi,

First i'll explain what i did.

I've Thinapped Office 2010 Professional Plus SP2 with an Internet Explorer entry point. (Thinapp version 4.7.3)

Made some changes in the registry so .doc and .docx files will open in the virtual IE browser.

Here are my changes made to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8]

"BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.RTF.8]

"BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.12]

"BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12]

"BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]

"Word.Document.12"=hex(0):

"Word.Document.8"=hex(0):

Now i have this problem:

When opening a .doc or .docx file in the browser a ' download bar' appears.

My document opens in the browser as expected but, at the same time an empty grey Word window appears at the background.


The grey window shows not all the time when opening a .docx or .doc file , this is whats so strange about it.

Sometimes when i open the .doc or .docx file it opens without the grey empty word window. It seems like it's happening randomly.

I also tested it out with .xlsx files (Excel) but this go's all well.

Before i forget, this all runs on a Windows 7 Enterprise environment.

Does anyone know what causes my problem, or can anyone help me?

Kind regards,

Martijn
