| There is an issue sequencing Bentley View 8i when launching it causes a BSOD. I logged it with Microsoft who confirmed there a bug in Softgrid 4.1 and 4.2 and quite possibly later versions that can't deal with some of the coding within the Bentley view app. MS aren't going to look at a fix for these versions. | ||||
