Mike Jones: self-issued

There appears to be no way possible to allow my browser to recognize or use CardSpace cards. The one-minute video mentions a small download to be provided but none are available.

Let me try to help here. If you’re on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 and you want to use Windows CardSpace you need to:

• Upgrade to Internet Explorer 7, which you can do with Windows Update.
• Install the .NET Framework 3.0, either as one of the optional installations available via Windows Update or from this downloadable package (as advertised on the cover page of http://www.netfx3.com/).

(Of course, if you’re on Windows Vista, you already have both.)

Finally, you didn’t say what browser you’re using. If you’re using IE you’re already set. If you’re using Firefox, follow the installation instructions at http://www.perpetual-motion.com/. And if you’re on other platforms, you might want to check out the Bandit Project’s DigitalMe downloads. Hope this helps!
