Not running internet explorer in windows 8

Help! Can't get flash player to run on IE 11 and get the message "not running Internet Explorer in Windows 8"

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.

    HP3600n was installed on old Gateway desktop and was accessed wirelessly from Dell laptop with Windows XP.
    I purchased new Lenovo laptop with internet explorer 11, Windows 8.1.
    I am unable to access HP3600n wirelessly for some reason. I tried to install software on new Lenovo laptop from original install disk but get error msg that it needs IE 5.0 or greater to install.  I have IE 11, what is wrong?

  • I use Winamp and now the latest Firefox, is there any reason why I should not uninstal Internet explorer and windows media player, please advise.

    OS WinXP Home, service pack 3

    If I may, I see that you are using xp, but since its support is finished, for security reasons I advise you to go under windows 7 (if your pc allows).
    Well, I say that, but it's up to you :)

  • Signed applet runs in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer

    I've signed an applet with

    jarsigner planner.jar ddkey

    .... the applet only works with firefox and not in Internet Explorer. Even with a new certificate, IE does not ask me whether I trust the applet or not. Only a blank screen with a red cross..
    In spite of having configured "show Java console", the Java console is NOT opened in the task bar, so I cannot add further log messages....
    Why do the two browsers behave differently?? How can I fix it?
    Appreciate any hint :-)

    When I see "it doesn't work in IE" I always have to ask: Windows 7? 64 bits system? Are you sure you are running this in the 64 bits internet explorer? The default IE is the 32 bits version, so if you don't have a 32 bits Java runtime installed applets are not going to work at all, signed or otherwise.

  • Can't run an applet with Internet Explorer for Windows

    I'm not sure this is the right news group, if not please direct me to the correct one.
    I have an applet at http://209.55.115.36/webfit/Instructions/instructio_list.php?section_id=1&instructionsPage=2 It works in various browser except internet explorer for Windows. I've tried it with IE on windows XP, 98 and ME. Here is what I do.
    1) I uninstall any copies of the Java Plugin.
    2) I install a new copy of the Java Plugin
    3) I test that I can see the Java Coffee cup in IE
    I try loading in my applet and I get a big grey spot.
    The applet works with all Mac Browsers, Netscape and Opera, but not IE. I don't get any error messages, just nouthing.
    Any pointers or thoughts would be helpful. I'm under a time crunch because I wanted to show it off at a trade show this weekend.

    HEY! I saw what you're talking about! I was working on my own stuff, and my applet said it loaded and init'd, but was still blank. The only difference was I had upgraded to the Plug-In 1.4.1 this morning. So I went back to version 1.4.0 and it worked perfectly again. Maybe that's what's happening to you. So ignore the link I just posted and go to this one:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html
    That'll let you download version 1.4.0 instead, and I'll bet you that one works. Let me know. Good luck!

  • How to restore Adobe Flash Player for 32 bit Internet Explorer of Windows 8.1 64 bit?

    Default Windows 8.1 64 bit install runs Internet Explorer 11 32 bit and all it's features, but slight disturbance for install of integrated applications runs user in such a trouble of loopback which he or she cannot escape, because problem application doesn't
    runs for Windows or for it's programs, won't show it's Windows existence but wouldn't allow install of it's new software, I could only install complete new program for Windows program to run desired object.
    I am using Rocket browser for Internet Explorer 11 32 bit because of problem of Adobe Flash Player uninstall or install.
    But how many applications do I have to search, trial and if at all successful install for use because of problems of such applications of Windows?

    As we have reviewed in other threads on the same topic. Internet Explorer for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 make use of separate management and content processes which on the desktop in a 64 bit environment are 64 bit and 32 bit respectively.
    This is explained here on the IEInternals blog.
    In most scenarios, the multiple processes are entirely transparent to the browsing experience. 32 bit addons continue to load and interact as expected with the content processes in which they are run and web scripts which detect browser architecture continue
    to function, detecting a 32 bit browser.
    In the Modern UI experience, the scenario is even more transparent as support for addons such as Flash and JavaScript are integrated into the 64 bit processes and updated through standard Windows Updates.

    Answer for problem simply Got it !
    Internet Explorer 11 needs websites 'Trusted', add all pages in need of running addons, and rest Windows operating system handles.
    Now I am listening to songs on Windows Media Player (T3 skin) from a website which earlier messaged Adobe Flash Player not installed refusing playing songs, but now running programs without installing Adobe Flash Player.

  • What is the most efficient way to run internet explorer on a mac?

    I have to use I.E. for school along with Outlook.  I run windows for mac and am looking for the cheapest and least invasive way to do so.

    CSS731 wrote:
    Specifically I cannot attach files such as students grades or send requests to our photocopy center.  I works great on a pc but won't work on a mac.  Most at my institution thumb their noses at macs and I have been told directly they will not support mac or OSX.  I have tried using firefox but have been told by my colleagues that IE is the only browser that works.
    What you are running into is unfortunately rather common in business, education, and government. What happened is that your school computerized their operations in the late 1990s to early 2000s, when Internet Explorer on Windows XP was the most common web browser. Websites were coded to take advantage of technologies that are unique to IE. Once all these institutions and businesses finished their work, they thought they were done and they moved on.
    But in the time since then, the world changed around them. The Web moved towards "standards compliance," which means writing web sites for the CSS3 and HTML5 standards. Not for old Microsoft-only Internet Explorer features. If a web site is standards compliant, it will work on any browser that is also standards compliant. That would include every popular browser today: Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. (As well as the latest Internet Explorer for Windows, which is much better than it used to be.)
    Standards compliance was a wonderful revolution, because it meant we could use any browser. It also paved the way for the iOS and Android mobile device boom, since they need to use mobile web browsers and those are not Internet Explorer.
    The big problem is that your institution, like many others in education, business, and government, either doesn't want to upgrade their systems or doesn't have the budget. The system they built in 1996 or 2002 is being maintained, but it isn't being modernized. Therefore, it is not standards compliant. That's why it doesn't work with Firefox or Safari.
    I am sure that both you and they have noticed that they have fallen behind, because it's very easy to show this. If you go to any modern web site...Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Yahoo, Dropbox, every photo sharing site, every web forum, etc. it is extremely easy to upload attachments no matter what web browser you use.
    Of course, they'll get very defensive if you try to tell them that their systems are totally out of date and any browser should be able to upload attachments. Even if that's true, they may not be able to overhaul their systems any time soon. Maybe they would like to, but they can't get the funding. The problem for them is that more and more devices are being used on their network which don't have Internet Explorer, like Macs, phones, and tablets, and it's revealing the limitations of their system.
    That's the situation. It won't be easy to fix because it requires that the school's systems be modernized. But they really need to be modernized, because as we saw, attachments are no problem on multiple browsers on all the other web sites we use every day.
    If they could update their systems, the benefits would be significant. If their web site became standards compliant, it would automatically support smartphones, tablets, and Mac web browsers with probably very little extra work.

  • Itunes 12.1.1.4 not run cd rom on windows xp sp3. have removed all cd burning software

    itunes 12.1.1.4 not run cd rom on windows xp sp3. have removed all cd burning software.

    Thanks Alex,
    I performed all of the steps you suggested and iTunes v-12.1.1 installed correctly.
    The problem is, that version of iTunes now does not recognize my  HL-DTST DV-DRAM GMA-4082N, CD/DVD DRIVE.
    When I insert a CD to rip into my iTunes library nothing happens.
    If I click on the properties for that D-drive nothing shows using the Explore function.
    If I open Microsoft Media Player v-11.0.5721.5262 I can see all of the tracks on the disk, and the player rips the songs to the Microsoft Media Player library which I can then play.
    I then reinstalled VLC media player v-2.1.5, and was able to play cd's and watch DVD's. When I performed that install I again received the iTunes banner:
    Earlier versions of iTunes worked just fine:
    iTunes v-11.4 (32-bit) 10 September, 2014, (6 months ago), size: [106.11 MB], for Windows XP SP3 worked on this same Toshiba laptop.
    The latest version: iTunes v-12.1.1 seems to want to be the only piece of software allowed on the 32 Bit XP system.
    To me, it looks like Apple does not want any other applications running on this system. Not very thoughtful for customers that cannot afford to purchase more expensive computers when they are on a fixed income. I have been a long time user of Apple equipment when employed by Motorola, development engineering.in my younger years.
    Is there any way to get the earlier versions of iTunes back on this laptop?
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • What is the best way to run internet explorer on Mac and IPad and is it safe to do so??

    I need to run internet explorer to access new billing software,  what is the best way to do so and is it safe to run this on macbook and ipad if possible??

    You can't run IE on an iPad and the only way to use it on a Mac, since it's been discontinued for years for the Mac OS, is to install Windows either via Boot Camp or via running Windows as a virtual machine using something such as Parallels Desktop (my personal preference).
