I need help with down loading firefox to access the internet instead of using internet explorer. When I try to down load, I get the main screen instead. Thanks.

Are you using Firefox now, or are your trying to download it, so you can use it instead of IE?

I'm trying to download it.

Firefox or Minimo?

Firefox. I was able to download it to the laptop with no problem ... but not to the Axim.

You know that the PPC does not run PC code right?

Newbie to ppc so the answer is no.

Will do. Thanks.

In other words, you can't download and run Firefox to your Pocket PC (Axim) yet. There is a pocket version of Mozilla (the core browser of Firefox) available, called MiniMo, but not the fox. Minimo is much more capable than pocket IE, but is sluggish and has a tendency to crash. It is a work in progress. It will be duly impressive when they finally do perfect it.
surf your PPC over to http://www.meer.net/~dougt/minimo_ce and look for MinimoCE 0.011.cab for the file you can install directly to your Axim. Good luck, it's a Beta, but impressive when you get it to work.

Hmmm, advising a PPC newbie, who until now thought he could run Windows PC software on a PPC, to try a beta version of Minimo is probably asking for trouble....

My advice would be to stick to Pocket Explorer, or try the new version of Netfront (until Minimo is more stable and easier to install)

Ahh, sending newbies into the bleeding edge can be dangerous... But fun! Besides, it ensures our supportfullness will continue! ;-)

   

Get MultiIE for Pocket IE and you'll feel just fine about using PIE.

Having spent the last few nights researching, it appears Minimo works, but not error free, with wm5 only. Research on possible upgrade to wm5 and there are too many negative feedbacks regarding the wm5. Hopefully in the foreseeable future either wm5 gets better or minimo will work with wm2003se.

Is that even a word? Technical people are always trying to verbize something!
