I have a computer with a KNOWN problem that the computer manufacturer has "FIXES" for, but rather than FIX *MY* system, I want DISNEY to "fix" their game so that it works on MY system, even if MY system is at fault.

*blinks* Wow. I didn't expect flames in this community board... guess the bad seeds of the internet extend everywhere.

IE complies with a certain set of STANDARDS that Netscape, Opera, and others browsers do not comply with. The game was designed to work on a Properly Functioning System that complies with these standards.

Sorry bub, but you are completely wrong. It is obvious you are ignorant of these things. IE is far from adhering to established standards. You are disillusion into thinking that IE follows "standards", because you may have some favorite website that doesn't render properly on other browsers. Is it that other browser's fault? No. It's the websites fault for having to create content targeted directly to use proprietary features of Internet Explorer. Why would someone develope such a website? (i.e. Disney's Toontown). Because Microsoft has a 90% market share over the browser market. By Microsoft adding proprietary language features into Internet Explorer and web developers taking use of those non-standard features, they lock out other browsers and Microsoft gains further control over the internet.

All games have System Requirements. It is the USERS responsibility to meet these requirements. Complaining that it does not work on a system that has known issues with one of the requirements (IE) is like complaining that I can't run the game on my old 486 running Linux. It is not the games fault that it will not run on that box, it is the BOXES fault for not meeting the REQUIREMENTS.

Once again, you show your ignorance in how computer applications work. But further more, I started this thread in hopes that I would receive help in figuring out how to run Toontown without IE. Seen how you have no knowledge of that, why did you bother to reply to my post?

My main interest in running Toontown without IE, is so that I can remove all references to IE from my sibblings machines. They actively play toontown, however they install all kinds of junk on those machines. Slowing down the machine with all types of spyware and viruses. A good portion of that trash,comes from having IE/Outlook be such a virus/spy friendly programs. If I can get toontown to run without IE, then there would be no reason for my sibblings to use IE. I'll have them use Mozilla instead.
