    I have just installed Ron's TinyXp. It works well.

    It does not come with IE. I need to access a webcam that uses ActiveX which is difficult without IE.

    I understand that Firefox does not have an ActiveX plugin but Netscape might.

    Has anyone had any experience with ActiveX in a non IE browser?

    Or would it be simpler to download the latest version of IE?

    Thanks

    I have downloaded and using Sleipnir. It is based on an older version of IE and runs ActiveX.

    I don't know how it compares with other browsers but it is working well. I still prefer Firefox for general browsing.
