Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / July 2006Internet explorer problems
Hi there, I am having some difficulty with my Internet Explorer (mac). Everytime I try to open Explorer, it starts up, but the page never comes up, it just quits the application by itself. I have tryed re-installing it, a few times and has made no improvement. The application is compatible with my mac, and am wondering if anyone has any advise. Many thanks, Iain9996 Most likely it is due to Internet explorer being set to MSN's home page. turn off your internet connection, go into the preferences and change the home page and it should work. I would also think about changing to Safari or Firefox since who knows what other sites will break in the future > Most likely it is due to Internet explorer being set to MSN's home > page. turn off your internet connection, go into the preferences and > change the home page and it should work.

Many thanks, Iain9996 I was having the same problem. Your solution worked. Thank you. Although I would rather NOT use IE, there are a number of websites that won't support Mozilla or Safari. cheers, chollender > Most likely it is due to Internet explorer being set to MSN's home > page. turn off your internet connection, go into the preferences and > change the home page and it should work.

I try to persuade clients not to do that to their sites, especially as the Mac market grows. Microsoft is recommending that Mac users stop using Internet Explorer for the Mac. Now, are your talking aboout Mozilla/Netscape, or Mozilla/Firefox? Which version of each? Which version of Safari? What OS version are you using? SignatureTheresa Mesa Mesa Design House http://mesadesignhouse.com Please reply to newsgroup I have a web proxy question -- IE won't open because it says it can't find a specific server (the private server for my office that I don't know how to change). I rarely use IE, but sometimes need to -- and, it seems my Excel queries are either tied to IE or to the same office server. I've deleted my Explorer preferences (and Excel preferences), trashed and reinstalled Explorer, but it is still locked on to trying to open to the wrong web server. I also deleted any reference in my Network System Preferences to my work server (deleting the FTP Proxy and Web Proxy) and again reinstalled Explorer -- but the same problem. Any suggestions?
