NOTE: Some of you may receive scripting errors from Internet Explorer
Here is the fix and the only way it can be fixed
The root of the problem is that the IE control in your program defaults to IE7 Quirks mode, and many sites have dropped support for this now.
You can read about it in a lot more detail here;
http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2011/May/21/Web-Browser-Control-Specifying-the-IE-Version
You need to set 2 keys in the Windows Registry - one in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
and the other in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
The Name of the item is the name of your Exe. (it does not appear to be case sensitive.) The name must include the .exe part.
In Out Case pts.exe
The type is a REG_DWORD.
The Value is one of the following;
Try Decimal 11001 first
11001 (0x2AF9) : Internet Explorer 11. Webpages are displayed in IE11 Edge mode, regardless of the !DOCTYPE directive.
11000 (0x2AF8) : Internet Explorer 11. Webpages are displayed in IE11 standards mode, regardless of the !DOCTYPE directive.
10001 (0x2711) : Internet Explorer 10. Webpages are displayed in IE10 standards mode, regardless of the !DOCTYPE directive.
10000 (0x2710) : Internet Explorer 10. Webpages are displayed in IE10 standards mode if there is a !DOCTYPE set.
9999 (0x270F) : Internet Explorer 9. Webpages are displayed in IE9 Standards mode, regardless of the !DOCTYPE directive.
9000 (0x2328) : Internet Explorer 9. Webpages containing standards-based !DOCTYPE directives are displayed in IE9 mode.
Here is what the registry should look like in the end result
You may have to ADD a new Key to this one o if it dows not exist
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

Right Click in the Vendor Code Box and select World Pac for the Vendor Code.
WorldPac can be left running Minimized after each use, so you do not have to load it each time you need it.
Tips: Go to Preferences in World Pac and Check the Order and Export Button, this way, when you order,
the item will be export to the work order automagically. You can also tell World Pac to remember your
login, so you can automatically log on to World Pac instead of typing in the password each time.
NOTE: You can change WorldPac's Listening Port here from the default 17943 to another port if needed.
World Pac uses the vehicle identification number for part lookup. Garage Partner will send the VIN automatically when
requesting WorldPac.
NOTE: If Garage Partner just sits there when trying to run WorldPac, make sure the File WSPD exists in the
c:\ drive (Root). This tells Garage Partner where SpeedDial is installed. Open it with Notepad and make sure
the path to SpeedDial is correct.

There are two vehicle databases available. The AAIA database may be phased out due to the
fact that CARFAX supplies all that information.
Recommended: AAIA: This is an industry standard database, updated by Garage Partner
once per year. This database is the most accurate and should be used
when interfacing with parts or labor lookup programs.
Local: This database can be added to and updated by you. This database
will not be very accurate and may not be able to be used for
Parts and Labor Lookup interfaces. Shops are working on non standard
vehicles should use this database
Select which database you want to have as the default database. You can still
use the alternative at any time.
