Need to run IE (Internet Explorer) any other way besides Parallels?
New to Mac (part II). Ok, new to Mac part II means I tried a couple years ago but because I was dependent on MS products and IE (have to have IE for real estate) I had to switch back to PC. Now with new Intel chip and am happy to say I am the proud new owner of a MacBook which brings me to my question.
I'd love to be able to toss my PC and never return to it again but I can't unless I can find a way to run IE. I am running Parallels/Vista and can access IE that way but man does that cause the Mac to run up it's activity.
I have 2GB of RAM and the activity monitor with Parallels running shot over 100% just this program alone. The fan was blowing.
I only need IE for one purpose; to access the MLS (I am in real estate and it's all they authorize to access the MLS - Multiple Listing Service). Is there another way to immulate IE without going through the trouble of running Parallels?
It makes me uneasy to have the fan working as hard it is running Parallels or am I being overly cautious? Thanks.

Thanks, Opera did not work. As for BootCamp, the reason I choose Parallels was for the convenience of NOT having to reboot in and out all the time. With Parallels I can run the program within Mac and just click back and forth. I guess when I have to access it I'll just put up with the amount of resources it takes up.
Thanks for all the assistance.
FYI - here is the message I get.
Thank you for your interest in the MLS System
The MLS System was specifically designed for Internet Explorer versions 6.0 or greater. Your browser version is not supported. To download the latest version of Internet Explorer, visit the Internet Explorer Downloads Web site.
Once Internet Explorer is installed, you can go to the MLS System site by typing http://mfr.mlxchange.com into the address bar.
The MLS System is the premiere web application that helps Realtors get the most out of their business.

Applet won't run in Internet Explorer
I am having problems running applets that I create. They don't run in Internet Explorer. Other applets will run in the browser but it seems to use the Microsoft VM, not the JVM from Sun. The Mozilla Firefox browser will run all applets using the JVM from Sun.

If you cannot see an entry in IE Tools menu named Sun Java Console and open it , then do the following.
1.Open Windows' Control Panel and look for an entry "Java Plug-in".
- If it's not there, go here http://java.com/en/index.jsp and click the "Get It Now" button to install the Java Plug-in.
- If it's there, click it, and then the Browser tab. Make sure that "Internet Explorer" is checked, then close all instances of IE. Go to this page and try one of the applets: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/relnotes/demos.html
2. If that doesn't resolve the problem, remove ALL Sun Java stuff that you can find - check directories and the Registry - and do a clean install of Java.
to twinkietwin
Question 1: It appears that you typed the error text in your message #8, because there are capitalization and spelling problems that do not exactly match the errors that Java produces. Is this the case? If so please cut and paste the verbatim text of the errors from the window that appears when you click on the "More Details" button of the "Error - Java General Exception" box. (The EXACT and TOTAL error test is important.)
It appears that the applet is attempting to acquire the value of some variables from the HTML code that calls the applet, but for some reason it cannot find the HTML file named "example1.htm" that contains the variables. One possibility is that there is a file on your computer named either example1.htm or example1.html that is being found first. Check your machine for files with one of these names; if found, temporarily rename it to something else and try the Sun BarChart applet from the demo page again. -
How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?
In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed. This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager. To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request. If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136See How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

Help Flash player will not run in Internet Explorer 11?
I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player and it will not run in Internet Explorer 11. I have done the things suggested in the help/forum section. What else can I try?
This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in. -

Rob,
Many thanks for your reply. It is appreciated greatly. I have added text against each of the points that you raise.
troubleshooting Addons is somewhat complex.....as from this side we do not know which addon may be causing the problem, so the
only recourse is to disable the types of addons that commonly cause problems in IE (for security and usablility reasons some older addons that you may have used previously with IE8/XP are no longer compatible with newer versions of IE that you are now using)....
The following instructions will stop your Toolbar and Browser Helper addons from loading in IE.
Start>Control Panel>Internet Options>Advanced tab,
uncheck "enable third-party browser extensions".
close any open IE windows and restart IE for the changes to take effect.
[GotaQ: Yes, did this but the problem then is that IE won’t open for me. There is no icon in the start menu or task bar
and routes such as using a command prompt or ‘run’ instruction don’t work. When I try this I get a window on screen that flickers for a bit and then disappears.]
Alternatively, your problem with keyboard input is most likely being caused by a form filling addon or a finger print reader
addon? Note: some addons like the Google toolbar have multiple features like form filling, you can disable the GTB's form filling features from its settings dialog (click the 'spanner' icon on the toolbar)
Use Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons to locate any such addons and use the Addons Manager to disable them. (close and
reopen any open IE windows for the full changes to take effect).
[GotaQ: I tried disabling all of the add-ons in Google Chrome and the key-stroke mapping problem persisted, unfortunately!] -

No. You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection.

AppletViewer won't run an applet that runs in Internet Explorer?? Whats up?
I have an applet that I created. It runs in Internet Explorer perfectly. I mean perfectly, every single time, without a problem.
But, if I try to run appletviewer with this applet, it gives all kinds of exception messages: Ever seen this before?
Thanks!Why not just paste the applet code. I know it is simple, but here it is. I am new to java so you may see some weird code for sure.... It is suppose to countdown to a given date/time... Just something simple to help me learn Java.
If anyone else has time and wants to compile it and try to get it to run as an Active Desktop Item that would be super cool
Thanks!!!!

i am developing a flex web application which needs to access Other domain (Payment Gateway API),is there any other way other than cross domain policy available ? please help.
we donot have access other domain thats why we want other solution..All the paths to CFCs are the same in my live production site. Can you be more specific as to what you mean by "RemoteClass aliases in your AS Classes and CFCs (if any) are correct."? How will the app know that the CFC is on http://myLiveSite.com instead of http://myDevSite.com? The only line of code that I have noticed that points to a URL is the endpoint in a file called _Super_XXX.as. And at the top of that file it says that the file is not meant for editting.
To clarify...I see your app/code all exists on a server access via a web browser so I can understand that everything still works when deployed. Mine is a mobile app so when I am developing and testing on my local computer the URL points to my local development machine. However when I deploy it to a mobile device like a tablet and run the app, it needs to be able to access a cfc on a remote server via a different URL ie. my http://myLiveSite.com/myCFC.cfc instead of http://localhost/myCFC.cfc
Thanks for your help! I will now take a look at your thread.

IMac (2009) HD needs repair. Smartdrive is faulty, is there any other way ? (more details in post)
I have an iMac 2009 Model running MacOS 10.6 to Core 2 Duo. From few months the disk utility and SMART status tells me to repair the HD using Disk Utility while boot. Now, my problem is that the super drive is dead, I had it replaced earlier but it died again, which means I can't use the CD to access Disk Utility during Boot Process. So,
Is there any other way I can repair my Disk ?
Is there a way to figure out if it is even repairable or my HD is just getting slow death.
I might be upgrading to OSX Mavericks coming next month, so does it makes sense to wait & do a format/clean install at that time ?
And, finally If i have to get the HD replaced, do third party drives from Segate, WD work well ? Or I should stick to what Apple Store provides ? Asking because here there is a major difference in price of both.
Thanks!Once you get a S.M.A.R.T error the drive is failing and needs to be replaced. Nothing you can do to repair it. Once a drive starts to fail it can never be repaired to a point you can trust it.

I can no longer connect to the internet from any other device.
Having successfully upgraded to OS X Mavericks from Snow Leopard I can now no longer connect to the internet from any other device. I have an iPhone 4S, a Galaxy Tab, and an internet radio, none of which can connect to the internet since the upgrade. They connect to my BT Home Hub without a hitch, it’s just that they do not connect at all to any website. All was fine before the update.
The upgrade was to my iMac and that’s fine, no connection or surfing issues.Hi t0ad1e,
