Opening 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. Does anyone know how I might do that?

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

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:

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 ?

Message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer" in blue bar. Why

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.
Environment: Windows 8, file developed in Publisher 365, Reader 10 "I think"

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?

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.

When i run firefox setup all that shows up on my pc four shortcuts that open internet explorer

I downloaded and saved firefox set up and when i ran it a window showed the extraction but then nothing happened. i searched for mozilla and found only 4 shortcuts that open internet explorer.

If your Firefox is in FullScreen '''press F11 key''' OR move your Mouse cursor to the top of the window, right-click and Remove Checkmark from '''Hide Toolbars'''
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select '''Menu Bar''' and '''Navigation ToolBar'''
-> press '''CTRL + B''' for '''Bookmarks Sidebar'''
Check and tell if its working.

Can't open internet explorer

When I updated to Firefox 3.6.3. I can't open Internet Explorer anymore. Clicking on the icon just dies, and going through the Search function also fails. If I do a system restore back to before the update, it will open, but Firefox will NOT.

how did you solve this

Quick Time opens internet.wmv files as text files

I'm trying to open internet video files that are generally .wmv files. Quick time does not open them, rather they open in a text format. Ideas? Thanks!

As the above poster said, you can download Windows Media Player for Mac to view .wmv files, or you can use my preferred method. Although it will cost you $9.99, you can download Flip4Mac's WMV Player. This is a Quicktime Codec that allows you to watch .wmv media within Quicktime and within your browser ending up as a complete media solution. You don't need two different applications.
Hope this helps,
Ryan.

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

Why does Adobe version XI not open internet PDF files?

What is your computer system (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS Lion)?
What is your browser?

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show favorites.

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show my favorites. I've gone to "view" > toolbars and clicked on favorites bar but it won't show my favorites in the favorite bar. This problem only started
a couple of days ago. Before then the favorites bar always showed with my favorite.

Hi,
Do you mean the favorites items don't show up in favorites bar or even the favorites bar
doesn't shown up in IE?
I suggest you check whether the favorites link existing in the favorites bar folder, you can click the
in the up right corner, then expand folder "Favirites Bar", or manually check folder C:\Uses\username\Favorites\Favorites Bar
Or create new favorite item, then check if it works.
You can also try to launch IE in no add-on mode, then check the issue again, if problem disappears in this mode, then we can narrow down to find the culprit, launch IE by running
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff

Google desktop and Picasa open Internet Explorer even though Firefox is my default browser

I am using Firefox 6, and no matter what I do clicking on Google Desktop opens Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I have set Firefox as the default browser in at least 3 places: In Firefox itself; on the Internet Options section of the Control Panel; In the add/remove programs Set Default Programs screen. This is all in Windows XP professional. The same problem happens with Picasa online albums (when I go from my computer's Picasa to Web Albums). I don't know when this started, but now I cannot get my Web timeline. I have uninstalled Google Desktop.

Hello nanemy1854, set also firefox as default browser in Add or Remove Programs list in win xp, see for more information : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work#w_windows-xp Firefox as default browser in win xp].
thank you
