Database support. ImageNow Server does not currently support SQL Server 2012 due to ODBC driver issues. We are working with the 3 rd party that supplies the driver to resolve this. We anticipate that support for SQL Server 2012 will be available in a subsequent 6.7 patch in the near future. 2. Content Server. At this time, the Content Server does not support Office 2007 (or higher) files. 3. Google Chrome. Product Help for ImageNow does not display correctly in some releases of Google Chrome. To work around this issue, complete the following steps. 1. Create a copy of Chrome on your desktop. You can create the shortcut by navigating to [drive]:\users\[user name]\appdata\local\google\chrome\application, holding down ALT while clicking chrome.exe, and dragging it to your desktop. 2. Rename the shortcut Perceptive Help. 3. Right-click the Perceptive Help Chrome shortcut and select Properties. 4. In the Target field, add quotation marks around the path and type --allow-file-access-fromfiles at the end of the path outside the close quotation mark. Make sure you leave a space between the original string and the tag you are adding to the end of it. Note The string should look similar to this example: "[drive]:\users\[user name]\appdata\local\google\chrome\application" --allow-file-access-from-files 5.
