Thanx. I have shifted to Linux from Windows. one problem is some websites do not open without Internet Explorer. How can I get it in linux? and is there any alternative? cause I dont really want to use those stuffs of Microsoft again.

You can install ie6 using wine. Search this section for 'installing ie on linux using wine' or 'franks corner'

No video doestnt play. the site has code set to detect wmp 9.0 and above. that is a site problem, wmp is not available for linux

It played video in page itself (new page poped up) in mplayerplugin nicely although it showed unknown wmp detected.make sure u have win32codecs installed and mplayerplugin or xine-plugin installed
