Sometimes I get to a web site that doesn't recognize my preferred ID proxy settings of Mozilla 4.5, (compatible iCab 2.9.8, Macintosh U), or sometimes I get a dialog when I get there, telling me that I need to upgrade to Explorer 5 or higher, or that I need only Explorer order to use the site, or iCab hangs there, or she site looks wierd per above.. That's when I change my ID/Proxy in the preferences to Mozilla 4.0 (compatible MSIE 5.0, Mac PPC), close the preferences, hit the return key on the keyboard, which gets iCab to reload the same html, than am able to access into that web site with no further problems. Perhaps I should leave the ID/Proxy settings there, but I prefer not to, because 90% of the web sites I visit recgcnize my ID/Proxies that don't include IE. Nice thing about iCab is that one can change their ID/Proxy (emulations) to any of the 5 different groups in that window on the fly. >>Giving you more info that you asked for, but, hope it helps. > >Helps alot!

Since I'm still running with OS 8.1, I use Internet Config to choose my default browser. Internet Config. sets my Internet Preferences. After launching Internet Conf., open the helpers window choose http, then edit, then choose helper button. Thru the window that opens, find and select your actual iCab application. Then click OK, and iCab will appear next to http, when you close the edit window. Same proceedure for nntp�, and https� also choose iCab for file� in the helpers window. I don't remember exactly which of these 3 allows the automatic launching of iCab, soon as you command key click on a URL address in Emailer's message window. Also make sure you select Emailer in same way as above for mail to� in the helper's window, before closing the window and saving prior to quitting Internet Config. You don't need an alias of iCab in your start up folder, if you're running any system prior to OS X (am not familiar with OS X). I put an alias of iCab in a Communications folder I set up, in my Apple Menu Items folder in my system folder. Thus I can select and launch iCab, or Emailer, or others, any time from my apple pulldown menu on the top left. However since clicking a URL in Emailer auto launches iCab, I haven't needed to launch iCab from the Apple Menu as much as I used to. However,t both methods are always available.
