When I launch "startpage.html" in firefox, it works well.

In C2, at startup it doesn't (check the picture/link).

it's a pity, the startpage looks very good. All praises Ricardo.

What version of Internet Explorer is installed on your system? Construct 2 uses the IE engine to display the start page. We're only supporting IE7+, so maybe you're still on IE6?

Oh I see.

Yeah I basicly don't use IE, tried to remove it all the ways I could, so yeah, it's probably some old default version that comes with XP.

Ok then, I'll just remove the startpage from the preferences so that it is not displayed at start.

It's sad, 'cause it looks good in a true browser, but I don't intend to update IE under XP.

You don't have to use IE, just make sure IE8 is installed and it'll use IE8's engine to display the start page. (Edit: said IE9 at first, but that doesn't support XP :P)

I've asked Tom to have a go and see if he can fix it for IE6 though, I'm sure you're not the only one still on IE6. It's a bit of a headache though, IE6 really is crap.

Old thread but same issue here

Any chance you won't be using IE engine in the future?

Or do I really have to install this thing just for the start page
