Can I have 2 versions of Internet Explorer downloaded on my computer?

I upgraded to IE 9, but need version 8 for a website that I use for school. Is it possible to have two different versions, downloaded on Windows Vista? Like having Mozilla and Internet Explorer, or IE 9 replaced so will I download IE 8?

You do not download IE8 to replace IE9. Use the procedure here to return to IE8:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/how-do-i-install-or-uninstall-Internet-Explorer-9

There are a few hacks to run multiple versions of IE, like this: http://utilu.com/IECollection/

But there no IE9 yet.

    Hi bholmes,.

    Have you looked at the article Knowledge Base, what to do if Firefox will play all of the sounds? There are many good advice on troubleshooting in there. You might have its just accidentally disabled for Firefox.

    There is also a chance it's a plugin problem. If the first article does not help, take a look at common audio problems and graphics issues.

  • ThinApp several version of Internet Explorer running with IE 9 native

    Hello, it's me again with questions about ThinApp.

    So I thinapp-ed IE 6, 7, 8.  We currently have IE 9 running in our Windows 7, 64-bit box.  I understand about ThinDirect, how can I have some links opening in some version of IE.
    We have developers and webmasters who constantly need to test applications and sites in all versions of Internet Explorer.  So, the idea of multiple IE running on their desktop is very exciting for them.
    All IE 6, 7 and 8 are fine thinapp.  But, we noticed a small problem.  If a user just finished using wound up IE 6, 7 or 8, then they open a link from Outlook or any other place (during this time, no IE are open).  The link is open in whatever the last thinapp-ed IE they used, not with their native IE 9.
    I made sure that all the IE thin-app are not CHECKED with "say if Internet Explorer is not the web browser default."  Only the native IE9 has this option checked.
    If the user opens up IE 9 and the press are lacking and that the default web browser check, everything opens in IE 9 again until they run the other thinapp new IE.
    So, I want users to run their IE 9 as their default browser how thinapp IE whether or not they have running.  And I don't want any other IE to check and see if they are the browser by default every time that they have first begin to run.
    I can do to fix that?

    Hello

    I understand ThinDirect, how can I have some links opening in some version of IE?

    You should make a thinapp of each of the IE version and while thinapp each version you must specify the links that should be opened in this specific browser.

    An example lets take IE 7 and allows you to make the assumption that the www.sevencycles.com must only be opened in IE 7 on the deploymet machine.

    Capture procedure:

    1. On a clean XP machine to perform a Prescan.
    2. Perform an upgrade from IE 6 to IE 7 only. No updates of windows.
    3. Make postscan and capture normally until you reach page statistical quality "collection."
    4. The page following this is the redirection of the browser page. Here, change the it be redirected URL www.sevencycles.com.
    5. To proceed with the default options until you build the thinapp of EI or complete the thinapp process.

    Deployment procedure.

    1. Copy the bin folder or the Internet Explorer.exe of IE7 thinapped on machine/Win 7 64 vbit machine deployment. Lets assume that the ferry of Internet explorer 7 is in c:\bin.
    2. Mount / copy the content of the VMware ThinApp on the deployment computer.
    3. Perform a thinreg thinapped Internet explore as > thinreg.exe /a c:\bin\Internet explorer.exe.

    Audit:

    1. Post thinreg check the contents of c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware ThinApp\Thindirect it must contain the names of the packaging of each of the browser thinapped .txt files. You'll 7.txt Windows Internet Explorer. Open and check if the redirect is for www.Sevencycles.com and the location of the internet explorer 7 is OK.
    2. Check if the thindirect in tools-> Addons plugin run on Internet Explorer 9.

    Are we on the same page so far?

    Now come to the script in hand, I checked with the two browsers. IE 6 and IE 7 on Win 7 64.

    • Thindirection of IE6 was www.nbs.com/sixers and IE7 in www.sevencycles.com
    • Copied on the exe of thinapped to the deployment machine and did a thinreg of VirtIE6.exe and Internet explorer.exe (Version 7).
    • Therefore, the contents of the c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware ThinApp\ThinDirect would be 2 VirtIE6.txt text files and 7.txt Windows Internet Explorer.
    • Launched the native IE 9 and the URL entered as www.nba.com/sixers; He launched the URL in IE 6 and IE 9 closing.
    • Closed-IE 6.
    • Yet once launched IE 9 and set the URL of the browser www.sevencycles.com and supported on entry.
    • IE 7 was launched with the URL the value www.sevencycles.com and IE 9 has closed.
    • Private IE 7.
    • Launched thinapped Excel 2003.
    • In a given cell type www.yahoo.com and then clicked on it. He opened a www.yahoo.com in IE 9 in accordance with your expectations.

    I had the wrong scenario that you mentioned. Are there any changes that you suggest me to do in the test?

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    Yes, Microsoft has never created a Service Pack 4 which would have not only included IE8, but also all of the Windows updates released since the SP3. Be prepaired to install a long long list of updates and WGA validation.

    I am using windows 7 on my Presario CQ 6.

    the automatic updates has loaded the latest version of IE, and I don't like as much as the previous version that I used. I can't find MY FAVORITES, and it's really hard for me to learn.

    How can I go back to my previous version of Internet Explorer?

    Hello

    Please find the steps below may help you solve your problem.

    • If you installed IE9 and you want to remove open Windows Update, and then view the update history, select install updates at the top, then scroll down to find Windows Explorer 9, click it and then click Uninstall in the bar of net to organize towards the top of the window.

  • My preloader will not work in the latest version of Internet Explorer.

    I am designing a site for a friend who has just upgraded to the latest version of Internet Explorer. Now the preloader to load his site will not work, and it stops right on the number of '0 '. Here is the code I use. The code is displayed on the first keyframe and the site is on the second keyframe.

    Stop();

    Preloader

    loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);

    function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void

    {

    container for the progress of the site (download)

    var p: Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);

    preloader_txt. Text = % + '% ';

    If (p == 100) {}

    nextFrame();

    }

    }

    When my friend right click directly on the charger, it has the ability to 'play' flash and loads site. I would like to find a clean and elegant way to him load his site.


    I'm puzzled. Everyone knows about this problem? What I can do to fix this problem or should I right just a warning on the page?

    Thank you very much!
