Armada 7710MT/No Browser

[mzmeyer]

Hi,
I have only a floppy drive. I need to load a Browser. I found a 1.45 MB called SlimBrowser. I can't copy it to a Floppy tho. Any ideas? If I did a direct connect what cable would I need?

W98SE 1.5GHD,32mB of RAM

Thanks,

Mike:wave:

Welcome :)

Do you want a browser to fit on a floppy or are you just trying to install a full working browser?

You can download a standalone version of IE3 from here
http://www.skyzyx.com/downloads/
It is about 1mb


If you want a full browser then look into splitting a file.

Programs such as Winzip will allow you to span a zip file over several floppies.


Or you can use a program such as HJSplit to split a file into sections, then rejoin it at the other end.

Also look here for other browsers.
There are a few at 1.1mb

Hi,
Degsy. I will keep to the post.
I downloaded Avant Browser but I get an "Illegal Operation " error when I try to use it. Any ideas? I have 48MB of RAM and only have a floppy drive.

Does the PC have any version of IE installed?

Avant may require IE files.

You could try installing a Mozilla type browser.

I have IE 4.0 but I get the same error. I am trying to figure out how to use Winzip to split a file and put it on floppies. I have Firefox.

Try HJSplit. I use it all the time.

Hi,
I used WinZip -self extractor to put Foxfire.9.3 onto 2 floppies and also IE6.0
They are both on the Armada but I still get "Illegal Operation" Any ideas?

mzmeyer

[degsy]

Did you install the browsers?

IE6 would need to be installed properly. You can do this via the 400k internet setup.
The full setup is 70mb.

[mzmeyer]

Yes I installed the Avant and the Foxfire. but IE6.0 won't connect to download it but I still get the same error again "Illegal Operation". I am running at 28,800bps dial up. I can connect to the Internet but no browser.

May I ask that if the OS is Win98SE then was IE5 already instlled?


You get illegal operations when trying to install Slimbrowser and Mozilla?

[mzmeyer]

Hi,
IE5 is not in the Add/Remove programs. It must have been deleted. I am running W98SE.

I'm not sure why you would get errors trying to install different browsers.

It may be a more serious error in the OS. Sorry :(
