    Hi there
    Our business is in the process of offering a web-based image reviewing program for our referrers.
    We plan to offer the use Parallels for Mac Users. Our problem is that the image viewing software runs on Internet Explorer 6.0 and upwards, but we have heard a rumour that Parallels and IE 6.0 or higher are not compatible. Is anyone able to confirm/deny? Any technical advice or other input anyone can give would be much appreciated. Apologies for the use of general terms; we are still in the planning stages.
    Thanks very much
    Jacinta

    If you ran an older version of Win XP for example before MS IE 7 came out
    MS IE 6 ran seamlessly when i started with Paraallels nearly two years ago

    MS IE 6 contains securioty issues best avioded by using MS IE 7 as Microsoft recommend
    any problems will be windows or security issues

    Hi Hugh, thanks very much for your reply, I really appreciate it - just clarifying:
    * So there are problems with Win XP versions that are older than when IE 7 was released?
    IE6 worked well with Parallels two years ago, but Microsoft recommend IE7 to avoid security issues with IE6?
    Thanks again
    Jacinta

    you *must* use SP 2 as well

    there is a world wide pool of leaky computers spreading viruses and trojans
    A'and a VM needs the same securit as any other machine running the same OS

    i use freebies
