Interent Explorer?

Welcome to the discussion forums smcgee87 -

There is no IE built for the OS-X. You would have to load a Windows OS onto your Mac, and run IE from there.

The old Internet Explorer 5.2.3 for Mac is woefully behind the times by today's standard. Maybe last updated 2001-2002 ??? I would not trust it even though it still appears to load up. Apple used to include this browser in the Apps folder but that was a ways back!

Microsoft discontinued support for the product 2005 and removed the application from their Macintosh downloads site 2006.

Good luck

That is bogus. When a site ties itself to a single browser configuration they are totally backwards. (Interesting that they are educationally related). Try it with Safari or better yet Firefox.

Your best bet would probably be to install VirtualBox and Windows if you don't want to dual-boot. Also would be much safer than repartitioning your hard drive.

VirtualBox is a program that acts like another computer inside your computer and is available at:

FYI, if you are tempted to use a virtual machine on top of your Mac OS X, I just switched from VirtualBox (which is free, and convenient) to Parallels Desktop for Mac (not free), and it was well worth it. Parallels is hands down faster, more stable, and a smaller CPU hog than VirtualBox.

I have used VMWare Fusion, previous versions of Parallels, and VIrtualBox on a variety of Apple computers, but this version (Parallels 6.0.11828 I believe) really kicks arses! Then again, free is a cool feature too...

My two cents.

You could try either Camino or Firefox (www.mozilla.org), but if the site is dependent on ActiveX, then you will need IE and windows in some form.
