Re: Am I free from spywares

Thanx. I have shifted to Linux from Windows. one problem is some websites do not open without Internet Explorer. How can I get it in linux? and is there any alternative? cause I dont really want to use those stuffs of Microsoft again.

You can install ie6 using wine. Search this section for 'installing ie on linux using wine' or 'franks corner'

^^ it is opening in firefox cool

may be it is asking for flash 9 installed? or Java runtime?pls make sure...by typing "about

lugins" in FF2 address bar.

No video doestnt play. the site has code set to detect wmp 9.0 and above. that is a site problem, wmp is not available for linux

It played video in page itself (new page poped up) in mplayerplugin nicely although it showed unknown wmp detected.make sure u have win32codecs installed and mplayerplugin or xine-plugin installed
