SiteKiosk: Bug Fix for critical error
On kiosk machines with SiteKiosk versions earlier than 8.7 under Windows 7, the system will in most cases become unusable after Internet Explorer 10 is installed. The affected SiteKiosk versions are 7.1 - 8.6. Any Windows 7 computers that have automatic updates enabled will be affected because Internet Explorer 10 is installed automatically as part of Windows updates.

All software resellers are strongly encouraged to forward this information to the operators of the kiosks. PROVISIO has no information about the end user and therefore cannot directly inform them!

Description
Since the "HP Quick Launch Buttons" application (a known fact for version 6.5.x) is incompatible with the SiteKey driver of SiteKiosk (a known fact for version 7.x), you should remove “HP Quick Launch Buttons“ before installing SiteKiosk.
On some HP Systems the name of the HP software component might be slightly different. Alternatively you might consider to remove all HP software components before installing SiteKiosk.

Otherwise, you may experience a blue screen crash when booting up the machine.

If a blue screen crash has already occurred, you should restore your Windows system (by pressing F8 during boot-up and choosing “Last Known Good Configuration”) and uninstall “HP Quick Launch Buttons.“
