You have it checked as default web-browser in settings? I know it sounds obvious and I'm sure that it automatically launches when you click a link anywhere, but I was just reading on something like this last night. Make sure in settings it is set as default browser, then give it another shot?
EDIT: this may sound strange to, but I read that with aMSN you have to have it set as "launch: firefox $url" instead of defualt "launch: mozilla $url" ... whats the diff?

Nope..did it still get the same error..I can try a live 1.4 CD and try, that would not be to cool..

Install IE4Linux:

To install IEs4Linux, in a terminal:

Code: Select all

cd ~
wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-*
./ies4linux

I'll ask you some questions now. Just answer y or n (default answer is the bold one)

IE 6 will be installed automatically.
Do you want to install IE 5.5 SP2 too? [ y / n ]<-- y

And do you want to install IE 5.01 SP2? [ y / n ] <-- y

IEs can be installed using one of the following locales:
EN-US PT-BR DE FR ES IT NL SV JA KO NO
DA CN TW FI PL HU AR HE CS PT RU EL TR
Default is EN-US. Hit enter to keep it or choose a different one: <-- [Specify your preferred locale or hit ENTER to use EN-US.]

By default, I will install everything at /home/falko/.ies4linux
I will also install Flash 9 plugin and create Desktop shortcuts.
Is that ok for you? (To configure advanced options type n) [ y / n ] <-- y

Next a few files will be downloaded, and the three Internet Explorer versions will be installed:

Could not install IE6 always got an error uninstalled Foxfire and installed Foxfire with wine the fonts looked ..well not to good. So reinstalled the Foxfire that came with the 1.6 installation. Trying to stay away from MS amp.
