Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / July 2005Explorer and Mac OS 9 Problem! Please Help!!!
My step-father has an old Mac Powerbook with OS 9.2 on it. He put the most current version of Explorer for OS 9 and when he goes to google or yahoo and does a search he gets an error message that says something like "security zone settings error". I tried looking at everything under the preferences and there is nothing I can change or fix. I tried cleaning and re-installing and that didn't work. Anyone seen this prolem or have any ideas?? Thanks!! I am also using Mac OS 9.2. I am being told by some sites I try to access (e.g. MLX) that their page requires Explorer 5.5 or later. I am using Explorer 5.1 and can't find a later version for Mac. What version do you have? > I am also using Mac OS 9.2.

When you receive a message indicating a specific browser version, in particular IE 5.5 or later, then the website has been specifically coded to be Windows-centric when checking IE versions. That's not to say that IE for a Mac will not work but the site developers have neglected to test with IE for Mac and are using the browser version to block unsupported browsers. These same developers may have tested with other Mac OS 9 browsers such as Netscape but more likely have tested only with Mac OS X browsers such as Safari and Firefox. bill  SignatureWilliam M.
