Tractor Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I have a service manual that was created for use in IE 5 or 6 that my company needs to use. For some reason the creator hasn't upgraded the document. Besides building W2K machine with IE 5 is there any way to view the document correctly? Its huge and has links and frames within windows of which some are not loading. What I've tried so far. IE 11 with its compatibility mode Firefox (newest) Chrome (newest) Learned that newer windows cannot support older IE versions. Haven't tried older version of firefox etc because I have no clue which ones to try at this point. At our customer site we happen to be running an old fiery server and it loads just fine, but I need the docs working in our service dept.

Exodus Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Run ie11 in w2k mode? Maybe find a way to convert it online to view in a legacy browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Did it happen to be an excel document that was saved as html? Maybe trying to open the html file in excel again and re-saving it might work. Either way, the correct thing to do here is to fix the html.
