PM59480: On Windows 7 OLE's are displayed as icons and static metafiles cannot be activated.

Rational DOORS Fix Pack 1 (9.4.0.1) for 9.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On Windows 7 OLE's are displayed as icons and static metafiles
  cannot be activated.
  On Windows XP, the same OLEs working fine.
  
  Workaround:
  
  Copy the OLE (on a XP machine) and paste into MS Word, Then copy
  the OLE from MS Word back into the DOORS module and the OLE
  appears correctly on a Windows 7 machine.
  
  This is a particular issue with baselines, as the workaround
  cannot be applied to baselines.

  This behavior was introduced in 9.3.0.6 to address DOORS
  client crash while rendering corrupted DIBs. That time we
  didn't had sufficient data to narrow down reason hence
  iconified all the static DIBs under Windows 7
  

Problem conclusion

• We have fixed this, only corrupted DIBs (having incorrect
  bitmap header which cannot be rendered under Windows 7) will
  be displayed as icon, otherwise all the valid DIBs will be
  rendered same as Windows XP.
