Greetings,
i have a bit of a conundrum, there is this old program called acdsee version 3.1b , its an image viewer that allows you to see all image files in a hard drive and it's super fast, newer versions of it beyond version 4 are considered bloated and other viewers like irfanview are not as good...
however, - of late, websites have been using the dreaded webp format, and in order to see them, or edit them, some programs need a plugin.
to install the plugin, you place the webp.apl file in the plugins folder, run the program and it adds registry keys
but here is where it gets weird, i have one machine that refuses to register the plugin, and not only that, on this same machine i run oracle virtual box, and so far none of the virtual machines are able to get the plugin to work. (so far tests with win 7 and win 8)
on the other hand, the program runs the reigstry process and the webp viewing perfectly on an older win 7 machine , a win 8 machine and 2 windows 10 machines...
i am wondering if it would actually be hardware issue.... even to the point that it affects virtual machines....
