virtual Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I have IE8 installed on my Virtual machine, but I also have IE Tester and 2 different Standalone versions of IE6. My issue is with IE8 which won't display IE7, the developper tool window won't even open. I was wondering if this is because of all the other versions I have installed. Does anyone know if this could be causing the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Are you trying to run the IE7 emulator mode on a local website, by any chance? I've found that IE8 won't show the IE7 emulator mode if you are working on a local website. Uploading it to a web server and then testing it usually fixes the problem for me.

virtual Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Ah... didn't think of that but that could be it, I develop everything on the Mac and Firefox and then test on the virtual machine. I also test on a PC and it works fine there, but that's probably because I have already uploaded and am just double checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtual Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Nope, it isn't that. I tried testing live and the IE7 emulator won't open. I'm also having issues with IE Tester which keeps crashing after a few minutes. I am running XP2 on VMWare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Dunno. You may try uninstalling IE Tester and/or any other browser emulators you have running, testing IE7, and then reinstalling. I'm personally running IE8 (with IE7 compatibility mode) and IE6 (using Multiple IEs) on Win XP in VMWare. Haven't had any problems with that setup.

virtual Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Thanks Ben, I guess I'll do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtual Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Well for anyone who runs into the same problem, I took everything off and reinstalled still no joy. So then I found the answer. The developer window is minimized through some weird Microsoft quirk, so to make it appear, either right click on the filename in the bottom taskbar and maximize, or Alt + spacebar + M, and lo and behold there it is.
