Window 8 & Internet Explorer 10 Released

Microsoft officially released Windows 8 on Friday, October 26th. Windows 8 includes Internet Explorer 10 which is the only version of Internet Explorer that will run. If you choose to upgrade to Windows 8, please be advised that our development team is testing IRESis to ensure a good user experience when using that browser. The following are known issues that we are working to address as soon as possible:

• Active X controls are not supported on the default version of Internet Explorer which will prevent Aurigma, the multi-image uploader, from working. Until we can release a fix, you will need to upload photos one at a time or use Firefox or Chrome to upload multiple images at once.
• Print outs may appear in small print. Uninstalling and reinstalling the printer driver may work as a temporary fix.

We will post updates as we receive more information. In the meantime, you may choose to use the most recent versions of Firefox or Chrome with no issues.

There are 2 versions of Internet Explorer 10 available on Windows 8 - "Metro" mode which is the default or the "Desktop" mode. "Metro" mode does not support flash and therefore Realist, our public records system, is only compatible with the "Desktop" version. In order to switch to Desktop mode:

1. Open IE 10 in "Metro" mode.
2. Click on Page Tools (wrench icon) from the status bar at the bottom of the browser.
3. Click "View on the desktop" from the menu.
