Big FireFox issue?

HTM|jiN · 18th Sep 2005, 04:50 AM

I got the Moxzilla fire fox thing to help block popups but now I cant even access the internet at all without using: Myie browser--I cant find firefox or anything to remove it--Any ideas
Also: I have an old CD with three games on it and it wants to use DOS--How can I install on XP?

Meaning MyIE2 browser--And when I use MYIE2 I get all the popups again lol--why cant I even find Firefox in control panel? How do fix this stuff?

Not exactly the ideal forum to ask about Firefox problems

Why not the right foruM?
And any info about the DOS game?

This is BeyondUnreal, we're not exactly FireFox experts
That's why I posted the link to the Mozilla forums, so you can get answers from the people who actually made Firefox

Soory about the DOS stuff, no clue

To run DOS games, search for Abandon Loader.

To run DOS games on XP you need DOSBox

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

It is an emulator.

If you are using SpyBlaster or some firewall it might be blocking Firefox so you need to fool with their settings.

>For the Firefox thing, are you using the latest version of Firefox? Other than that i don't know but i'll look into it for you. DOSBox didn't work that well for me, all I wanted was the sound and it didn't work very well. I'll try the Abandon Loader and if it doen't work very well i'm building an old Win95 computer so i'll just use it. Oldschool games rule

Or you could try out VDMSound, which is a soundcard emulator. Has worked like a charm for me.

Since this thread is about firefox, any idea on why when I visit sites with scrolling text in IE they come up fine but in firefox they scroll repeatedly and don't display properly?

Only suggestion I'd have about dos based games is you could always dual boot two different OS(es) and use ME or something for old games while using XP for the new ones (if you want to go down that road). I've had older systems like that in the past and it worked well

Dunno if you wanna go down that road tho?
