Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / April 2004IE 5.1.7
Was told by AOL support person that I needed IE 5.1.7 (instead of IE 5.0) for my OS 9.1 on my iMac. Was instructed to download the .hqx. Did that but now have an IE 5.1.7.smi on my desktop & it won't open due to "error type -39" Called back AOL & was told I didn't need the 5.1.7. My questions: 1. Do I need it? 2. If so, how do I install it since I can't open it? 3. Should I consider going to OSX on my iMac? (It seems so hard! and I am just feeling a little bit of control over 9.1) Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

Error type -39 ("end of file") means that the downloaded file is not complete. Simply trash it and download another copy, then try again. If you're feeling brave, OS X is excellent, much better than OS 9.x in my opinion. If this does not suit your needs though, then OS 9.1 is perfectly fine too.

I've tried twice to download it but the download manager says the process was interrupted after 47 or 54 minutes. What can I do to make the process complete? (am also having problems w/web pgs being completed on AOL; don't know if these 2 problems are connected or what). Thanks again for any help. > > Judy > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Ricky > Ricky - > Thanks for your reply.

Thanks again for any help. > Judy That's a long time for a relatively small file download, even on dial-up! Normally, I'd look at modem configurations, but in this instance, your connection speed might be limited by the quality (or rather, the lack of quality) in your modem cable and/or phone line. If these aren't up to scratch, your connection speed and stability can suffer significantly, as it appears is apparent in your case. I wonder if you could, as an experiment, fire up a connection to a different ISP on your machine to see if its speeds are a significant improvement over what is witnessed through your AOL connection? This might serve to highlight potential cable / phone line issues. Ricky SignatureAll requests for support should be sent to the newsgroups only.
