Secured webpage requires Internet Explorer

I'm a Apple newbie as of today. Trying to access a secure webpage for work and it requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 for MAC or better, do I have to download it or does Safari handle that requirement? Also requires Adobe Acrobat Reader, again, do I need to download?
If I do have to download Microsoft IE, how do I use for only the required webpages?

Hello Rodney and welcome to discussions,
There a few ( not too many ) secure websites that will not work with Safari.
There are also better options than Microsofts I.E. - It has stopped being developed by MS and wont be updated again.
One option is Firefox
Adobe is available from Here
You can add Firefox to your dock there by simply dragging the icon onto the dock with the mouse.
Hope that helps some
Regards

Adobe Reader 9.x & 8.x "requires Internet Explorer 6"

Friends PC in Italy had Reader 9.0 (Italian) installed and working fine. It has had Reader in various versions Italian & English over the last 5 years with no problems.
Tried to update it to latest/securist version but got an error message that the update had failed in Italian (which I don't read)..
Decided to uninstall and reinstall the latest version instead.
Uninstall went through fine via control panel with no errors.
Installing the 9.1.x Italian or English for XP SP3 (and also the 8.x.x) all fail every time with, the English version error message saying (and the Italian also) every time at c99% of the Nosso Adobe download manager:
"Adobe Reader 9.1 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater. Please visit www.microsoft.com to upgrade Internet Explorer."
XP is XP Pro SP3 (Italian)
MS IE about says 7.0.5730.13
Belarc advisor reports Microsoft Corporation - Internet Explorer Version 7.00.6000.16850
Have followed the MS KB 917964 tips to (a) reset IE7 and (b) Reinstall IE7 with no change in Adobe Reader symptoms = stuck without Reader which is not a happy place to be.
HELP anyone ?
MK

Thanks, MK. I was hoping the fix would be as simple as modifying an entry in the registry but everything seems to be in the proper order this far. I have seen a resolution to this issue which involved using a program named Orca to modify the MSI installer package so that it foregoes checking for IE but that should be totally un-necessary and it a fairly technical approach. I can provide you those directions if you are interested but I'd rather have you check a few others things first to see if we can actually get to the root of the issue.
First, let's try running a few Microsoft tools to hopefully resolve any errant registry or disk issues:
Cleanup temporary files:
1. Open My Computer
2. Right-click the C:\ drive > click Properties
3. Click Disk Cleanup > place a checkmark in all options except "Compress Old Files" > click OK
Repair file system issues:
1. Open My Computer
2. Right-click the C:\ drive > click Properties
3. Click the Tools tab > click Check Disk
4. Place a checkmark in "Automatically fix file system errors"
Repair registry:
1. Disable any anti-virus software that may be installed
2. Go to: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/center/whatsnew.htm
3. Click Full Service Scan
4. Install any necessary plugins when prompted
5. Run the complete scan when prompted and allow it to fix any issues it finds
Since we are dealing with an Italian version of the OS, the site may redirect to the Italian version of the site (hopefully one exists). The OneCare Live safety scanner is meant to be a security tool for removing malware (not great at that part of its job) but it also includes a registry repair tool that has resolved many odd registry issues I have encountered since finding the tool.
Finally, if none of the above fixes the issue, Adobe has a tool named CS3Cleaner which removes all traces of the Adobe SC3 suite. In doing so, it has proven to also remove most, if not all traces of ANYTHING Adobe. Uninstall all Adobe products prior to using this tool and see if it doesn't clean up any miscreant traces of the corrupted file and/or registry that may be causing the issue.
CS3Cleaner: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
My bag of tricks is getting thinner so if this doesn't fix the issue, I will have to dig deep to see what else I can come up with.
Best of success!

A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer (IE9) to close and reopen the tab

I have IE9 (using 32-bit version) installed on a relatively new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. Up until last weekend IE9 worked fine and Flash Player worked fine too.
At the weekend a webpage asked for Flash Player to be updated - which I did. Ever since then whenever I go to a webpage needing Flash Player I get the message "A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab". This happens twice and then an IE9 error page.
I have read the discussions in here about the problems with Flash Player 10.3 and have tried the various solutions. I have updated to 10.3.181.16 having tried 15 and 14 previously. Same problem.
I have reset IE9. Same problem.
I have disabled all add-ons which stops the problem. If I enable just the Flash Player add-on then the problem recurs. Since there are so many webpages that use Flash I do not want to run my browser without this add-on running.
If I enable the add-on and run IE9 using software rendering instead of GPU rendering then I don't get the problem. However, this isn't exactly making the best use of the resources on my laptop.
This may well all be related to the 10.3 problems but no one seems to have mentioned having a problem with tabs closing and reopening so I thought I would post on here to check.
Any suggestions for how to solve this (other than using software rendering)?

Thanks again for your reply. I appreciate the time you have taken to respond.
I think, however, you misunderstand the problem. IE9 does not reopen the tabs on just one website - it is doing this on every website that needs Flash Player. Therefore, running in Compatibility mode is not an option. In fact, because IE9 reopens the tabs so quickly and then ends up with an error page, I cannot even click the Compatibility button anyway.
I could use ActiveX filtering - true. All that this means is that Flash does not play on any of the websites. When I want to re-enable ActiveX for a particular website where I need to see the Flash Player item, this just triggers the error.
This problem also happened on .14, .15 and well as the current .16 version. It did not happen with the previous version of Flash Player that I had on the system (version 10.2 I think).
The fact is that either Flash Player or IE9 or both is/are broken. The two choices I am still left with are:
1. Use software rendering (which contradicts the latest advertisements for IE9 about unleashing the power of IE)
2. Use another browser - I have no problems with either Firefox or Chrome

"Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater"

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater is the error that jumps up when I try installing it. Currently this system is running Internet Explorer 7 which is installed at it's default location. Any clues what can have gone wrong?
Version 7.0.5730.13
Build 75730
Program path C:\Program\Internet Explorer (Swedish computer)
Language Engelska (USA)

I came upon this post after receiving this error message when trying to install Acrobat 9. In my case, we deploy Acrobat from an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using Group Policy. I believe the user at this computer pulled the plug while the group policy deployment was taking place. I got the error when trying to install the program manually afterwards.
I was able to rectify the issue by running msiexec.exe against the MSI in the AIP with the /x switch, performing an uninstall:
msiexec /x \\server\deploy\AcrobatStandard9\acrostan.msi
(The program was not showing up in Add/Remove programs, otherwise I would have tried uninstalling from there.) After that, the install proceeded successfully.
Hope this helps someone.

"Requires Internet Explorer 6.0" error message

I'm installing Acrobat 9 Standard on Windows XP.
The installation begins and then quickly returns an error message saying the installation requires Internet Explorer 6.0.
I'm already running IE 6.0 -- 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2
What's wrong?!

I'm having the same issue. Our environment is Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8. Deploying with AD or manual install give the same error message. The registry and IE8 both report the correct version.

Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater

Hello,
I have a user who has reported Adobe Reader was not installed on his PC, which we complete via GPO as default for all our computers, and has never been an issue (WinXP and Win7 (x64) ). When attempting to install the reader manually, I received "Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater" This is a Win7 box. It comes with IE 8! Can anyone point me to the registry path the installer is looking for to determine the version of IE? I've checked HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and verified both "Version" and "W2kVersion" read 8.0.7601.17514.
I realize Reader X is available. We're not ready to deploy it yet. So any suggestion other than simply "install Reader X" is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.

I know I'm considerably late to the reply here, but I had the same issue with a Reader X install done via GPO. This may be relavent info for the future, and may work for Reader 9 as well
I read that someone had tried running the command line uninstall for an older version of reader, as it seemed to have not been removed completely. I threw together a batch file to attempt to remove all the reader installs we had available along with the font packs. Some of the font packs won't remove unless reader is present, so it re-installs the latest reader, removes the font packs again (to get whatever it missed) then reloads the font packs.
So far this approach is 1 for 1. Hopefully it helps out if you still need it.

Can I use a HP printer that requires Internet explorer?

Can I use a HP printer that says it requires Internet Explorer with my Firefox Web browser?

Are you talking about the HP Smart Web Printing program and Toolbar for Firefox?
That application adds a few features to Firefox, but it won't stop the printer itself from working with Firefox. My advice is to download the latest version of that program from the HP website, and you'll probably find that the latest version of that application will work with Firefox 3.6.x versions.
IMO, HP is lax about updating that application when Mozilla releases a new major version of Firefox, thus inconveniences their users unnecessarily for a few months while they take their time making an updated version - work they should have been doing when the new version of Firefox was being tested in the Release Candidate phase.

Solutionbank requires internet explorer v6 or higher

Hi,
I recently bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 which uses Internet Explorer 11 and have been unable to use a CD-ROM (supplied in a textbook I bought) livetext program on which there are stored answers. I desperately need to use
this as I have exams in about 2 months and am severely stressed so this is not helping at all since this is the only way I can check that I am doing my work correctly.
On my old computer with Windows Vista I was able to open the program successfully but with this version I am unable to. I have tried Mozilla, Firefox and Google Chrome but they too do not work and anyway I prefer to use Internet Explorer.
The program is an "Application (.exe)". Whenever I press the link to the livetext program (known as solutionbank) a message appears
"solutionbank requires internet explorer v6 or higher".
I have checked the Microsoft forums for help but no one seems to know anything about the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
probably, this application software is performing a check of the browser version (using some custom/internal method known only to the software developer) and it doesn't like what IE11 has to say.
Check the website or support information for this software, they may have a patch or update for it, to allow it to correctly recognise IE11.
Because it's an application, and not a website, I can't see a way to get IE11 to tell a version lie, (although you might be able to do so if you try modifying the UA string in your browser).

OLE broken after Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB3003057

Our product has been using the IWebBrowser OLE interface for many years but has failed since Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB3003057. What do we need to do to get this IWebBrowser interface working again.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752127(v=vs.85).aspx
When we try to use the Navigate function it causes general access violations such.
Our code has not changed for several years so must something must have been chainged in the OLE/ActiveX library with this security update patch.
We are getting Access Violations when calling the IWebBrowswer :: Navigate function since this KB3003057 security
patch. If I uninstall the patch everything works normally again. When I re-install the KB3003057
patch the problem returns.
All our customers (many different computers in different offices) are getting this problem once they pick up the update. It is not specific to a particular computer and we are seeing it on Windows 7 and also Windows 8.
Thanks in advance for any advise you can offer.
Thanks,

Hi broom,
I get exactly the same message you posted for this site.
"Requires Internet Explore 5.5" I see no option given.
With both Safari & Firefox , they use Activex plug-ins?
which is a microhard plug-in I believe.

"Ummh. i would say they certainly do not seem to care one way or the other for they do not support Firefox either, Ms does not support the IE browser for mac users beyond 5.2.3 which is not a secret to the webmasters.I feel they are shutting us out. "

How to download/play movies on the web that 'require" Internet Explorer, et

OK, I locate a movie for playing or downloading on the web. I click on it, it comes back and says:
"This product requires Microsoft© Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft© Media Player 10, and Macromedia Flash 7."
Let's get real, gang. Do I download these things (claimed for free, but huge & slow to get), or do I tell something on my nice nifty OSX 10.4.3 to do it? Say, iMovie, or Preview?

Hi Jay,
hard to tell from remote....
MS IE is just another web browser, don't know, why Safari (or Firefox, mozilla, younameit) should browse that specific file....
MS mediaplayer - that is another cup of tea... my guess: the files you want to watch are in .wmv format, which is a) proprietary b) you need the wmv player OR try the plug-ins from www.flip4mac.com ( I suppose, they have a free "play only" plug...?? search for your own)
MM Flash 7 - no substitute for that, what makes me wonder, with your 10.4.3 system/Safari Flash contents should be shown "automatically".../mostly used for "effects" on websites as drop down menus etc....
summary:
that website is badly programmed, obviously this website tests your combo and doesn't accept other things then MS products..
besides: iM ist not a player!! it's an edit app! for playback any media content, Quicktime Player is meant for... Preview is for stills....
try clicking on the file you want WHILE pressing the ctrl-key on your keyboard, the context menu should show you some download options; when file is on your hd, try to open file with QTplayer.......

Hi Dawn,
Thanks for replying.
'''nptnt2.dll '''
It is probably not worth worrying about this any further
Your Crash report actually listed the file ''nptnt2.dll'' but not the other two that we would be most interested in.
Research by''cor-el'' suggests the ''nptnt2.dll '' file is in most cases probably left over from having had ''search''.''us''.''com'' something considered potentially unwanted but which is documented.
'''user.js'''
This is also not critical as long as Firefox is working as you expect.
However it is relatively easy to look at so I will give instructions you can try to follow, and links to help articles related to this.
Briefly
*The file is in the Firefox profile.
*It may be hidden, as may be the last two letters on the filename.
*It is a short file of ordinary text so relatively easily read.
*It is not ordinarily needed and does not by default exist. Too often its purpose is to make changes to Firefox that you probably do not want, and to make those changes difficult for the average user to reverse.
** As an an aside. It was often used to make the different Firefox searches use something the rogue software wanted you to use. Firefox was however changed recently to give the Firefox user control over this from the search bar.
'''If you want to look at the content of ''user.js'' or disable it'''
We all need to begin somewhere, and I have no idea what you already know. Here is a crash course in improving your computer literacy.
# First of all make sure at least temporarily Windows is letting you see hidden files, and also it is letting you see the full file name including the extension ''.js'' in the name ''user.js'' see
#* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders#Windows complete with screenshots
#*http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions#show-hide-file-name-extensions=windows-7 You may also wish to click ''show all'' on the inked [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-names-extensions-faq#1TC=windows-7 faq page] for an explanation on how to '''rename''' a file and other useful tips about ''file extensions''
# Now with Firefox open, use the button on the troubleshooting information page to open up your Firefox profile folder.
#* To do so Key in ''about:support'' in the addressbar. Hit the Enter/Return Key on the keyboard. Mouse Click the option that says Open Profile folder (Or something with similar wording)
#* See also [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile]]'''_how-do-i-find-my-profile''' (Observe the article will scroll to display related profile notes)
# With Firefox closed. Find the file ''user.js'' in the open profile folder. Rename the file by adding .txt to the name. That disables the file with respect to Firefox settings, and permits you to open it in a text processor such as Notepad by using a right click option.
#* If you need to reuse the file you will need to reverse the file name change. Mostly this sort of work is done with copies of a file not the original.
#* The instruction to rename works even if the ''.js'' is hidden but that makes it difficult to see & understand the real file names.
#* This article explains in more detail what the user.js file is and does http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file It includes advanced tips on editing the ''user.js''.
#* ([http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-names-extensions-faq see]) Note with Windows the characters after the last dot known as the file extension are used to show he file type and help decide what actions the file may have. '''''dot.txt''''' files will be ordinarily be simple text and can be read by text viewers and text editors. (Probably even viewable from Firefox)
