Hi, I've installed the virtual machine and older browsers etc. now this maybe a stupid question, but how do I install an older version of IE, it always complains a newer version is installed even after I uninstalled it from the control panel.

Depending on your needs and equipment, you may be able to set up everything you need on your own PC for free! Assuming you're running Windows, the following is all freely available: * Virtual PC * Linux * Swift *Virtual PC* http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx You can use this to install alternative OSs on your machine. For example. * Earlier versions of windows for IE5.x * Windows Vista RC1, which has IE7. It's a free (but very large) download or Microsoft can send it to you on DVD. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx * Linux, for testing linux based browsers, such as Konqueror (based on KHTML) (If you've got a Mac instead, there's other virtual desktop software available elsewhere) *Kubuntu Linux* Kubuntu is a good, easy-to-use linux distro if you're new to Linux and comes with Konqueror installed. (Free download or order the free CD) http://www.kubuntu.org/ *Swift* Swift is a port of WebKit to Windows. If you don't have access to Safari on a Mac, this is the next best thing, as far as the rendering engine in concerned. However, WebKit was originally based on KHTML, so they're very similar. The site, getswift.org is dead, but there's a binary available. http://lachy.id.au/dev/swift/binaries/ Browsers like OmniWeb and iCab are fairly good, but unfortunately the only way to test in those is to get access to a Mac. Both Opera and Mozilla (incl. Firefox, Camino, etc.) on the mac are equivalent to the Windows versions. Finally, IE/Mac is officially dead and not worth worrying about. So, even if you only have a PC, you can still get access almost all browsers you need to test in all for free. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
