How to open Internet Explorer files?

I have a bunch of Internet Explorer files that I transferred from my old OS 9 iMac. Now, it seems, I can't open any of them. These are web pages I saved for research purposes, and I would really like to open them if at all possible. It was suggested that Opera 9 could open Internet Explorer files; but, I tried that and it didn't work. Does anyone know how I might do that?

Archives that you saved with Internet Explorer can only be opened by Internet Explorer.
These are essentially a single file that contains the entire site.
Other browsers save files, pictures, and supporting information in a folder for each page you save.
But, Internet Explorer wraps all that into a single file (a web archive). This format is naturally only compatible with Internet Explorer.
You need to get the latest version of Internet Explorer for Mac OS X.
Microsoft has officially abandoned this browser. So, they are not offering it or supporting it anymore.
But, you can still locate a copy for downloading at:

    According to highly placed sources, Opera 9 provides support for opening IE web archive files.

  • How to open Internet explorer from java

    how can one open internet explorer through java and also displays the desired webpage in it.

    p = r.exec(runie);Whenever you use exec on a Runtime object, you need to get an InputStream off the System.err output. If this InputStream is not absorbed in some way, then it can stop the process. The process may not reach its destined finish point. The Java Documentation does not inform you of this, though experience will give you some unanswered questions, such as 'Why does this process never reach the finish point'.

  • Cannot open any Internet Explorer  files

    Here's the other question. ( I have Tiger. I still have OS 9 with Classic. )
    2) when I click on a file in Mac Intosh HD that was created under OS 9, with Internet Explorer 5.1.6, a file with the IE logo (the letter e + a globe), I see now a message saying:
    "An error occured loading the "MS Internet Library (PPC)" library. Re-installing should solve the problem".
    How do I do that ?
    I tried to trash MS Internet Library (not PPC- I didn't see that) and restart but that didn't help, so I put it back. (That's why I didn't empty the trash.)
    If I actually see a thumbnail photo, I can open that without problems.

    Well, this has unexpectely been resolved.
    I checked on the link you gave (just the first one) but after seing all the negative reviews about IE 5.1.7 and remembering my own bad experience with it (I upgraded to 517 about a year ago and it was worse than 516, nothing but problems so I trashed it and went back to 516) I decided to try to re-install 516 since I have the application. Well I just click on IE 516 and it opened to the Apple page. (why I don't know)
    I didn't install or re-install , nothing ! I just click and voila ! So I try other pages (yahoo, etc and everything is working).
    Then (and this is where I had the problem before, I could not open them ) I went to my HD to try to open a file done with IE and to my surprise it just opened without problems!
    So is that the answer ? I need to OPEN Internet Explorer before being able to see any documents done with IE ?
    It doesn't really surprise me :
    With OS 9 when I click on the Yahoo Check mail (I have an account with Yahoo) even if I'm not on line, the computer will start going on the internet, it will dial, etc and open the page.
    But I did notice with OS X that when I click on Check mail it tells me "You are not connected ". I must first click "Connect" then when I'm on, I must click "go back page" because what I see is the "You are not connected " page (so it won't even bring me there even if I clicked on Check mail 30 seconds ago). That is not an improvement.
    Is that with everything ? I must open before I can use ?

  • How can I open Internet explorer only pages on a mac? The website that I need to access only permits internet explorer

    How can I open Internet explorer 'only' pages on a mac, without creating a drive partition and installing windows separately?
    I've tried winbottler, but it doesn't seem to serve my purpose. The web site that I'm trying to access only permits Internet explorer.

    Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years so unless you want to create a parition and install Windows, or user a Windows emulator, you're out of luck for installing IE on a Mac.
    The web site that I'm trying to access
    There might be a work around for you since it's just the one site.
    Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Enable the Develop menu.
    Now click Develop from the Safari menu bar then click User Agent > IE 9, 8, or 7

    First time user.  Instructions on how to use not clear.  My problem is the message "Do you mean to switch apps?  Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer?" suddenly appeared in blue bar.  Occurs with I click on links in PDF.  What caused this?  How to fix?  How to avoid it from happening again?
    Same conflict with email links, just different message: "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open mail?"
    Goal:  Do not want to switch apps and do not want to be asked this question.

    Thank you for responding.  I have recreated the error, but cannot figure out how to use Snipping Tool to get screenshot of a Windows 8 panel.  Have the tool placed in the tool bar, but tool bar not accessible on the PDF display.  Any suggestions?

  • How to open jpg, tiff files in camera raw from elements 10 organizer

    How to open JPG, TIFF files in camera raw from Elements 10 organizer.

    Thanks for that Damead, I agree with you that Organiser is real pain (there is a total lack of intuitiveness if that is  the correct word).
    For my own work I use 'Lightroom' for around 90% of the time, only going into PSE10 for the 10% difficult bits the Lightroom can't handle.
    I only needed to sort out the JPEG file opening method within PSE10 for some freinds in a small Photo Group that I run in Woodhall Spa, UK. 50% of the 12 members are beginners & a number of them do not have Raw capability on their Camera's, but now they can get their JPEG's into Camera Raw within PSE10 they have the same simple tabular form of adjustment sliders (not as many as in Lightroom of cause) but it gets over the labourious problem of going thru the PSE10's individual tool selection process each and every time since we are trying to get everyone in the Group working with individual Tools rather than the 'Auto' functions. We do this so that they learn what they are doing rather than staying 'dumb&happy' within Auto all the time & they also learn how to get more detailed control for each photo.
    Ref. your comments on file handling/usage, I agree with your comments. Its far and away much more preferable to set up a file structure in 'Finder" (or in 'Explorer' if still using Windows) that you understand so you always know how to find the files. Also, I also never ever use the Camera Auto Load programme but physically 'drag & drop' photo files direct from the 'card' into the file system so I always know thier place (ie: they go into the location I want, not that which the Auto Loader wants).
    As regards your comment about 'Lightroom', I don't have any problems at all since I just imported the whole of my photo file structure into the Lightroom Library Catalouge and then it automatically shows up on the LHS of the screen, still in that format, so you can search it direct within Lightroom and display all of the photo's in variuos arrangements and sizes; everything is as easy to find as it is in 'Finder' plus of cause you have all the 'Tagging' possibilities to use as well. As you add more new files into the 'Finder' structure, all you need to do in Lightroom is reimport, starting 1 level up from the new files and Lightroom will find the new files that need loading (ignoring the older ones already in the Library at that or lower levels) then 1 click and its done.
    Your comments about getting others to follow a set file structure is very pertinant and also applies to evrything else that one ever does apart from just photo work; the times I have had to help others find info/files etc on their PC's because they don' know the location of anything is too many to contemplate.

    Your suggestion to try another file resolved the Converter  issue.  I found that I can open any jpg or tif file in any album that appears in the
    Windows Explorer.  So the problem was not with the RAW Converter.  Instead, I found another problem.  The ENTIRE Album
    containing the file I had been trying to open  is missing from the Windows Explorer (and I cannot open the file from the Album
    showing in the Organizer --  while I'm in the Editor!).
    So -- can you give me any help with this new problem of an Album that shows in the Organizer but not the Windows Explorer?

  • Is there any way to open Internet Explorer?

    I wonder if there's any way of opening Internet Explorer up, together with the specified URL without the user clicking on the IE icon using Java??
    Thank you in advance.

    IE (Internet Explorer) is fused into Windows and so Windows will always be able to access it, thats right, you can NEVER really get rid of it. That's because Microsoft decided for you that YOU want their browser and no body elses. Either Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, or HotJava will be installed on a Windows-based system so do this to get IE running.
    String theURL = "http://java.sun.com"; // chnage this to whatever URL you want.
    try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:/program files/internet explorer/iexplore.exe " + theURL)'
    } catch(IOException e) {
    Now it runs IE, netscape is something similar.
    MacOS will be different, also Unix/Linux.

  • Open Internet Explorer URL using MII Transaction

    Hello All,
    I wanted to know if there is a way to open internet explorer URL using MII transaction. I know how to do it using irpt but was wondering if there is a way of doing it using MII transaction action blocks. I was planning to provide access to provide path for iexplorer.exe and then open url like "http://www.google.com" on it.
    I appreciate your help with it.
    Thanks,
    Kiran

    Hi Kiran,
    You want to load a page into a transaction? for this you can use the action block called HTML_Loader and link www.google.com with HTML_Loader_0.SourceUrl.
