Just reinstall it, that's the solution to most problems like this, either you can waste hours trying to find whats wrong, or you can take 10 minutes and reinstall it.

Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: †FiRE Infection on July 23, 2002, 03:49:50 pm Typhy what would you suggest using, Netscape? ?And SK if you can't get the download manager up just delete your preferences. ?The same thing happened to me and it stil didn't work when I reinstalled it. ?Just delete the preferences.
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: Ace on July 23, 2002, 06:42:27 pm I would first try opening the DL manager manually and seeing what it shows (if anything) when you go to DL something. If that doesn't offer any hints, delete your prefs as advised.
As for IE alternatives, Opera is very good. I just downloaded Mozilla, and I like it more than Opera so far. Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: Brain on July 23, 2002, 09:25:11 pm got a link for that ace?
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: Typhy on July 23, 2002, 09:27:58 pm Mozilla, or however you spell it, is a great browser, I've used it before, I have it on my Powerbook. Here is the link for it: http://download.com.com/3000-2143-10117880.html?tag=lst-0-1
And for OS 9.2: http://download.com.com/3000-2143-10117882.html?tag=lst-0-2 Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: Ace on July 23, 2002, 10:01:26 pm I got Mozilla from the Mac OS X download section of Apple's site under Internet Utilities (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/). Opera, Omniweb, Netscape, and iCab are also available from that section. I'm sure there is an equivalent OS 9 download page on Apple's site. Here is just a quick description of what I know of each browser in OS X.
Mozilla - Open source standard for years upon which Opera and Netscape amongst others are based. In my limited experience with it, I have found it to be fairly fast and pretty reliable. Tabbed browsing rocks, but admittedly it doesn't feel as polished as some of the other browsers. Opera - Unbelievably fast, yet not very reliable. Crashes relatively frequently. More polished than Mozilla, yet not as good as Omniweb or IE. Omniweb - I haven't used this in a while, but it was an excellent native OS X browser when I first tried it and there were really no other alternatives. I found it to be a very polished browser with good features, yet it was a big processor hog and fairly slow. It may have gotten better, but I have no idea. Netscape and iCab - I haven't tried either but I have heard they are decently popular so maybe they are worth a try. Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: jn.loudnotes on July 23, 2002, 10:37:47 pm What?? You've used Opera and Mozilla but NOT netscape?
How is that even possible? Has netscape really sunk that low? (I still miss version 3...download it sometime...it was really cool!) :( Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: Ace on July 23, 2002, 11:36:08 pm I tried the beta of Netscape when I first switched to X because it was my fulltime browser in 9. The beta royally blew ass, so I tried other browsers and haven't tried it since. I probably should, but I'm lazy.
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: Mr. Lothario on July 24, 2002, 12:47:41 pm A year or so ago, I used to live on iCab. It was a great browser when I used it, and I assume that it hasn't gotten crappier with age. I personally like Omniweb very much. It's a tightly programmed browser, and it shows. It's just missing a few subjectively important features compared to IE, which is why I don't use Omniweb. But give it a try. It is a well-put-together browser.
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: *DAMN Silent Killer on July 24, 2002, 01:20:25 pm non of these ideas worked :( ??? :P
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: electronicjo on July 24, 2002, 01:25:48 pm well that means there can only be one more solution...trash internet explorer and forget it ever existed
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: *DAMN Silent Killer on July 24, 2002, 01:27:25 pm lol forget it existedhahahaha
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: Mr. Lothario on July 24, 2002, 01:45:59 pm And be glad that you're using a Mac, where trashing IE is even an option. In fact, maybe I'll go trash it right now just for shits and giggles.
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: †FiRE Infection on July 24, 2002, 02:38:38 pm I downloaded Mozilla it is like the same thing as netscape. Same skin and all.
Title: Re: Internet Exploror problems Post by: Mr. Lothario on July 24, 2002, 02:45:07 pm Well, yeah. Netscape just used the code from Mozilla to make Navigator and Communicator. Mozilla IS open source, after all.
