Installing Vida 2014B on Windows 7 Ultimate not compatible with IE 11

Post by turtlehead »

I spent the past couple of days trying to install Vida 2014B on my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop, and got everything loaded properly only to have the program get stuck at the "localhost" page. After trying all sorts of other things that made no difference, I finally discovered that this version of Vida isn't compatible with IE 11- I had to uninstall IE 11 (which you do through the control panel, look at "view installed updates" and you can uninstall Internet Explorer from there) and then reboot, and install IE 9 (make sure you've downloaded it first unless you also have Google Chrome or Firefox!). So far Vida is working like it should. I haven't connected DICE yet, but I will do that in the next few days and will report back with what I learn. My understanding is DICE needs a 32 bit version of IE 9, and mine is 64 bit so I may have some more figgerin to do.

Just thought I'd put this out there for you folks who might be struggling with the same issue.

Had the same problem, except it was with a downloaded backdate to IE8. With help eventually got it running with IE9. Only issue I have is with trying to read the repair info. It won't let me scan down the page. If I put it into PRINT mode I can then usually read the information.
