To run a VM you're throwing away a bucket load of memory to simply abstract away from your current OS. Sandboxie uses a negligible amount of memory, it's quicker, and it has all the features it seems you want to be able to safely use Internet banking.0 -
HBOS online runs fine with Linux, using Firefox or Opera.0

Firefox has a plug in that can make it IE for those sites that don't like Firefox, called IE Tab I think. Would that work with Linux?0

Nope - because all it does (under windows) is create a 'naked' IE window, and places it within a FF tab. Since Linux doesn't have IE installed, IETab can't create one.
What it doesn't do is emulate IE.Conjugating the verb 'to be":

I tried to use the ParcelFarce website yesterday, and it told that because my PC was running Linux, they didn't want my business. I tried a different part of their website just now, and it says I must use IE6 or later or go elsewhere.
So I used Interparcel instead.
It seems extraordinary that the management at Parcelfarce are prepared to turn away perhaps 15% of all potential customers just so that their IT department can have an easy life...0 -
Just use Microsoft Internet Explorer - no more problem.Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0
