Ok I have been trying to go wireless and thing I have it set up. The main thing was to check my work email. I am using yahoo and when I log in it gives me a message stating that the browser is not supported. I need internet exporer 5 or higher. I have been to the web site but have not seen what I need. How do I do this upgrad so I can check my email?
Thanks

Well you can download a program called RegKing that will fool other sites into thinking you have IE 5 or later. BUT it will keep Mobile sites from detecting if you have Pocket IE.

Download here.

is there a way to get IE5?

Uh, no. IE5 is windows, this is Pocket PC. Two different operating systems...

ok so how do I check my yahoo mail then

Hey cageyjames you stated that the program you suggested would keep Mobile sites from detecting if you have Pocket IE.
How would this be a bad thing? I am new to all this. Could you give me an idea of the type of things I could be missing or what it would mess up? I can then figure out if I want to install this or not. The main reason I went wireless is to check my email and now I cant do it.
Thanks

Thanks star50fiveoh that works. Well I just checked it out on my laptop but looks like it will work on my axim.
This site is great for a newbie like myself I am learning alot.

Well, go to Pocketpcthoughs.com and aximsite.com. See how their page detects that you have a mobile browser? Some other sites do that too... We are working on ours, but we don't plan to detect the browser, just create another URL to ours. Its not life or death, but if you pay for PocketPCThoughs forums, you'll never be able to see them because the forum software over there thinks you have windows, not pocket pc... Make sense?

Reg king works great I had a problem logging on the the auth. server on the wireless network at school. Needs IE5 or above, Reg King fixed that.

You might want to have looked at our mobile site links.

You would have found it months ago... :p

I am trying to connect to inotes, the internet version of Lotus Notes. Inotes will only work with IE 5.01 or higher. I have used RegKing and it did not work. I also used NetFront v3 and it did at least get inotes to ask me to sign in, but still did not display any content. Does anyone know of any other browser that might be able to fool inotes into thinking it is the real thing?
