Please help - accessing MLS on mac

**Newly licensed** · 11-07-2007, 12:35 PM

Please, help!!! This is so frustrating! I have a mac, and MLS only works with Internet Explorer that works in Windows. So I got this program Parallels, installed Windows on my Mac and now I can run both operating systems simultaniously.
However, even with Windows through Parallels, with Internet Explorer, MLSxchange does not work - shows me the blank page alltogether!! Have been fighting with this all day today...
Also tried accessing MLS with Opera (masking it as IE) - found this advice online, it didn't work...
Please someone who had the same issue, help!
Do you think MLS recognizes Windows running through the Parallels somehow and this is the reason? How do I fix this? There is absolutely no way I can buy another laptop right now just for using MLS...
Thank you so much in advance for all your help guys!

Weird - we're just now changing over to MLX, and I haven't noticed any problems with it yet besides printing issues.

If you're running Parallels, there should be no problem; your Mac has an Intel chip, and it's running Windows natively. To the program, there is no difference between your machine and a regular Windows box. I'd love to get some more info on this, as I'm sure I'll be seeing this issue again as we make the switch to MLX. A few questions for you:

- What version of OSX are you running?
- What version of Windows?
- What are the hardware specs on your Mac?
- Can you access MLX on a Windows machine through the same internet connection?
- Are there any firewalls or proxy servers that could be blocking data from MLX?
- Do you have trouble accessing any other sites from your Mac?

Hi! You know I just managed to solve the problem using Crossover - the program that runs Windows applications without actually installing Windows OS.
To answer your questions,
- never had any issues opening any site with my mac
- no firewalls installed on it
- can accees the site with the same connection but on PC
- I have OS Tiger 10.4.8 with 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
- Windows I installed was Windows XP

I thought it was wired, too. So I'm cancelling my free Parallels trial and having Crossover instead.
I was frustrated coz our MLS technical support does not give any info on using a Mac, their answer is basically "get a PC" ..
It's all figured out now,
thanks though

I use Leopard and run VMWare fusion to run windows side by side with the mac OS. Works great and i have no problems running the MLS, and other internet explorer only apps!

Let me know if you need a hand!
