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!

Hello,

Generally there is no known issue but as you are using the very old version 6.5 you may update first to the latest 6.x version which is 6.6.213:
http://www.sitekiosk.com/en-US/Downloads/VersionHistory.aspx?Product=SiteKiosk?ItemID=1&OpenItem=62#Item_62
(Updates within the same major version 6.x are for free)

Furthermore you should consider the description of the SiteKiosk help (is installed with SiteKiosk) about installing and using printers with SiteKiosk.
It is similar like with the actual version you will find online:
Printing: http://www.provisio.com/helpconsole/SiteKiosk%20Help/en-US/default.htm?print.htm
Printer Setup: http://www.provisio.com/helpconsole/SiteKiosk%20Help/en-US/default.htm?setup_printer.htm

In case you don't want to charge for printing you also can deactivate the printer montoring.


If you need clarification for a setting on one of the configuration pages of SiteKiosk please click the help button in the lower right corner of that page. This button is available on nearly all of the pages in the configuration and links you to the page of the help file that deals with the exact settings of that page.

Also note that Windows 7 and the Internet Explorer Version 8 and higher are not supported with this old version.
If you want to use SiteKiosk on Windows 7 and or with a higher IE version you need to purchase an update to the actual version 8:

If you use the print function of Word you may also have a look at this FAQ:
