Please help, this is urgent. I have a machine running Server 2008 R2 with Terminal Services installed. The software we use for our business is attache. On first run after reboot, it works fine, but any time after that, it crashes with this message:

attwinc.exe is Attache. I've tried to unregister pngfilt.dll (I don't care about PNG rendering in IE, as it's a Server), but regsvr32 can't find the "dllUnregisterServer" entry-point. I've tried replacing it with an older version from IE7 - same problem.

We had the same problem on our workstations running Windows 7 Ultimate. The fix we used was to uninstall internet explorer 8, let it downgrade to IE7, then reinstall IE8; but I can't find a way to uninstall it on Server 2008 R2. It's not in the 'Features' section of Server Manager, which "Turn Windows Features on or off" redirects me to. Is it even possible? If so, how?

Does anyone have even the slightest clue as to what the problem is and how to fix it? Please? This is urgent.

Did you ever get a fix for this?

Yes, it was a problem with the Internet Explorer HTML engine in windows. It didn't like the default png images that it was trying to load. So I opened them and resaved them and it worked
