    Default Internet Explorer For Mac????

    I am new to the forum but thought I would see if anyone out there knows how I can get a working version of IE for Mac. I have to access a project website for work and to view it I have to run IE. I am running OS X.4.8 and I have downloaded from oldapps.com IE 5.2.3, but when I open it I get the spinning black and white wheel and nothing downloads.

    I need to find some way to get this to work. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Try all of the versions one of them should work. Meanwhile I will go ahead and try them by myself too.

    I downloaded and installed a couple of the older versions (OS 9) and restarted my computer, and then did the IE 5.2.3 update and when I opened IE it starts to open www.msn.com but nothing comes in. Did this work for you?

    Major Advisor,

    I opened google in Safari and drug the address into IE in my dock and google opened up just fine. I was then able to navigate to the project site I needed and everything seems to be working just fine. For some reason I think that www.msn.com would not load, dragging www.google.com onto the IE icon by-passed the msn. So I guess the msn site was the problem. Thanks for your help.

    SWEET SUCCESS.

    I tried version 5.2.3 and it worked for me. The only reason MSN wouldn't load because Micrososft has discontinued support for IE for mac. All other sites should load fine.

    Enjoy your stay

    Are you sure you downloaded version 5.2.3 for mac from here? http://mac.oldapps.com/internet_explorer.php

    I'm sure you might have landed on a version for Windows.

    Good Luck,
    Hitz.
