What version of Windows is IE6/7 running on?

Hello,
I have been testing out some HTML5/CSS3 code, which uses the Modernizr script to render the new HTML5 classes in older browsers. I've had some trouble with layout in IE6 and IE7 on my test site (http://www.bluedutch.com/cafe/index.html), so I prompted the user to install the Chrome Frame plug-in (http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/) for IE <=7.
When viewing the site in these browsers, the user should be prompted to install the plugin. When I preview the site in BL in IE6/7, I get the window prompting to install the plugin, but the plugin window displays a message "We are sorry. Google Chrome Frame is only available for IE 6,7,8, and 9 on Windows 7, Vista, XP SP2 or greater."
I've uploaded a screenshot of the issue here: http://www.bluedutch.com/cafe/screenshot.jpg
I'm just curious what version of Windows IE is rendering the screenshots from, since the plugin doesn't seem to detect it in one of the aforementioned. Are IE 8 and 9, as well as the other Windows browsers running on the same Windows platform? Since rendering seems to be very platform dependent in Windows, I was curious about how this issue might be affecting website display.
Thanks,
Marie

Thanks Mark!
That explains the Chrome plugin issue I am seeing.
I've commented out the get Chrome plugin for IE7 on the site, just so you can see the behavior in IE7.
If I understand Modernizr, the layout should look similar to IE8, but some of the new HTML5 tags, like <menu> aren't aligning properly, and some of the other divs are messed up. This could be due to font sizing in my CSS, and maybe some other unrecognized classes that IE7 just doesn't get, which I will also investigate further.
But if you do find out any info on your side that would be helpful, I'd really appreciate any thoughts.
The BrowserLab is very useful, by the way! I just discovered it yesterday after searching in vain for ways to render pages from my Mac on Windows browsers. Thanks for its implementation and support!

  • What version of windows is best to run on an Early 2008 IMac?

    What version of Windows is best to run on an Early 2008 IMac? And should I use Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare? My IMac will be a secondary computer now that I got a new IMac. The Early 2008 IMac is an Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB memory, and 2.66 ghz processor speed. It is also running OSX 10.9.5 and Boot Camp is version 5.1.2.
    I mostly want to do this so I can get rid of an old Windows machine that I just use to run Quicken on. I think I need to do this since Intuit does not support online bill pay for Apple versions of Quicken.
    I am average with computers so any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    Bootcamp gives you access to underlying hardware on the iMac unlike VMware or Parallels. It does require reboot. Most VM engines let you take a Bootcamp Windows and run it as VM where a reboot can be avoided. With 2GB of memory, you should be able to Windows 7, but I would not recommend W8.

  • Remote way to find what version of windows a device is running

    I am looking for a way to find what version of Windows a workstation is running remotely.  These workstations are on the same network, but not a part of the domain.  This means I have no credentials to access them.  Is there a way to to do
    this?

    It doesn't matter.  Without credentials you cannot access the OS and the machines will not expose their identity if they are not enabled to do so.  I suspect the manufacturers have done their job abnd have locked down the machines.  This is 
    probably why they are not listed in DNS.  Any connections are hard wired into the servicing systems. 
    This is normal for medical machines.  We do not want people who are not qualified to have any access at all.  If someone asked you to do this then they are probably having a little joke on you.  HIPAA and other regulations require that al
    devices that might have any patient identifying data be locked down.
    The servicing systems will have to information you want although many devices are "upload only" which means they can connect to and upload data and images to another system but they cannot be connected to or remotely managed.
    As I posted above.  You will have to contact the owners of the machines to find out if they are managed.
    There are RPC probing tools that can read back OS data but it is likely that these machines are firewalled against that.  Try to telnet to port 445 to see if it responds. If it does one of the third party tools can probe it for more information.
    This has pretty good discovery software.  If GFI can't do it it can't be done.

  • What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8; also what is the most up-dated browser available for my system?

    What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8, and also what is the most updated browser available for my system?

    Sorry for my typo. Ofice 2008 will continue to run on Leopard and Leopard includes Safari 5.0.6. A G4 s an old machine and you will not get much speed when surfing the internet.
    Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.

  • What version of windows would you most recommend using?

    what version of windows would you most recommend using?
    XP Home, XP Professional, Vista Home, Vista Business?
    I see that XP takes up 1.5GB versus Vista's 20GB. XP uses 128MB Ram versus vista 512MB.
    It would seem like XP would run faster and take up less space... but is it the best choice? Thanks for the suggestions.

    Hello. I have a macbook pro OSX 10.7.5.
    I am looking to get windows on my mac, but am unsure what version of windows I need/ should use... I just want it for a handful of programs and games that I can't run on my mac, so it doesn't need to be anything top of the line... Any ideas? Thanks!

  • What version of Windows 7 for bootcamp?

    Hi, ive found many games I want to play are pc only, and I have the new 21.5 inch Imac. So I have turned to trying Bootcamp. So I was wondering what version of Windows 7 is best for bootcamp? And a link would help greatly too!
    Thanks!

    32-bit sees 3.5 GB RAM max.
    64-bit Home sees 16 GB RAM max.
    64-bit Pro sees 192 GB RAM max, and has an XP mode for older programs.
    64-bit Pro may not be worth the extra cost for your situation.

    Hi Jrehoboth,
    please see here: http://forums.quark.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4608
    At the bottom of the post we summarized which version you can run on each version of OS X:
    So if your operating system is OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) then you can use QuarkXPress 9 & QuarkXPress 10 and soon QuarkXPress 2015.

  • Where to purchase and what version of Windows 8.1 for late 2013 MBPr 13'?

    Hello all,
            Im new to this place and am new to Bootcamp. I want to run Windows via my MBPr but there is no optical drive. Where can I purchase / what version of the Windows 8.1 do I purchase if I am doing a fresh install (i do not have any previous Windows OS and am confused as to which Windows 8.1 to buy)
    Would this work?

    I am a little concerned because it says: "Important: Windows 8.1 Pro full version is for Windows 7 users only."

  • What version of Windows works with Mavericks?

    I have a Mac Book Pro Retina.  Operating system is 10.9.2  This is my first Apple.  Some of my needed software only works with Windows.  Which version of windows is needed?

    if you have a retina MBP, you should run the 64bit versions of either 7 or 8/8.1. it isn't tied to mavericks, it is tied to your specific machine

    The  wording is confusing. I just tried one of the DLs and it is working. Whether it will actually install now, I have no idea. If the activation servers have been disabled (because of a technical issue), probably not. Whether this is only temporary, I have no idea. I would think Adobe would just withdraw the entire page if they wanted. From the time this first appeared a few weeks ago until now I know it was working and could be installed using the provided serial #s. There was nothing about needing to actually have purchased it originally.
    Ginger:
    I downloaded CS2 from the Adobe site BEFORE this recent notice was posted and it is the only version that I have and use.
    The new notice is VERY confusing, because if you were a prior purchaser of it originally, why would you need their newly supplied serial number (which is what I use since I was NOT a prior purchaser. But again, when I downloaded and installed CS2 there was no such notice).
    I suggest that you see if it downloads, installs and works with that serial number, as free is always better than not!   (especially since it is known that iMac G5's are prone to hardware failure from bad capacitors! I had many of them...)

    As you can see from the image, CS2 is running in my Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) environment in Parallels concurrently with Lion.
