Haptek, IE8 and XP.

[GT40]

I have finally updated my Internet Explorer from version 6 to 8 (with XP SP3).

And like you, I got the message saying that my Haptek player is not the good one, when I tried to read a HTML page with Haptek content. Unable to see my own stuffs!

I followed the instructions and the "official" Haptek player was automatically installed. I answered to the questions in the little  yellow window above (maybe you have to close/open IE too). Now it's ok with Haptek webpages.

I know that some people hesitate to do this, because they prefer to use another Haptek player. No problem. Then they can reinstall their prefered unofficial version, like 4.11.41 20030415, available here:

I did it and the things from the following pages work fine (they can't with the normal version):

Seems to be just a browser, not a OS problem. And finally not a problem at all.[8D]

She flies, but no wings. I am using Vista.

Glad you can see that with Vista, Mark. []

You have to wait for several minutes before the wings are visible, with the unofficial version. With the normal Haptek player, they never appear.

Same here. She flys, no wings. Vista 32 bit IE 8. Nice scenery.

Many thanks for testing, Ted and Mark. Dunno why it doesn't work, if you're using the unofficial version above. Maybe an incompatibility with Vista?

Saying "It's an incompatibility" always looks more professional than "I don't understand anything".[]

It must be Vista. I'd trash Vista and put on XP if I had a copy for my new computer. But oh well.
Windows 7 is coming.[]
