Cant log in with Explorer and VMWare

Permalink
Hi, I'm on a Mac and I use VMWare Fusion and BootCamp to test sites in Explorer.

I'm on 5.4.2.1 and using VMWare, not quite the latest version. Explorer 9 and there is no log in action at all.

In spins a bit and then goes back to the original site. No log in occurs at all.

try some this:
 
Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Accelerated Graphics -> Use software rendering [...]

or

edit windows registry

1. Close IE.
 
2. In regedit.exe, find this (either by using the 'Find' command, or by manually navigating towards those keys)
 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mic rosoft\Internet Explorer\GPU
 
There you'll find the 'Software Fallback' key in two versions. One is called "SoftwareFallback" (for 32 bit Windows), the other "Wow64-SoftwareFallback" (for 64 bit Windows).
 
3. If the value is "0", change it to "1". I did it for both keys but I guess it's sufficient if you change the value only for the key appropriate to your Windows version (32 or 64 bit).
 
4. Close the registry editor.
 
5. Open IE 9
