Yes, course. Sorry for that, didn't pop up in my mind in the first place. I could try that method to solve the WinXP/Win7 conflict.
-------------------------------
Generally speaking, I tested various system configurations addressed to store page problems:
1) Windows Steam Client + real Windows 7 environment = Store page loads as expected -> OK
2) Windows Steam Client + Clean Wine 1.7.55 prefix + Win7 mode = Store page stays black/in loading state, steamwebhelper crashes constantly in GUI
3) Windows Steam Client + Clean Wine 1.7.55 prefix + WinXP mode = Store page stays black/in loading state, steamwebhelper crashes in console but the crash event is not clearly visible in GUI. Short console output is as follows:
fixme:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken QueryInformationToken( ..., TokenSessionId, ...) semi-stub fixme:ntdll:NtSetInformationJobObject stub: 0x26c 4 0x266e1ac 4 fixme:advapi:CreateProcessAsUserW 0x268 L"C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\steamwebhelper.exe" L""C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\steamwebhelper.exe" --type=renderer --disable-gpu-compositing --enable-err:module:attach_process_dlls "KERNEL32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\steamwebhelper.exe" failed, status c0000005
-------------------------------
If we got rid of the steamwebhelper problem, that could help us figure out what's going on with the black store page: Whether the black page is caused by this particular steamwebhelper crash bug or if there is something else causing the black page problem.
Fixing steamwebhelper crash would reveal the nature of the black store page problem and thus give us a hint whether it is an individual bug or not.
