The latest version of the Virtual Apple ][ Website, Version 4.4 has
been released. The new version of the Virtual Apple ][ site features
the latest ActiveGS emulator plugin which runs on both Mac OS 10.5.x
and PC based Windows 2k and newer. The plugin is compatible with IE,
Firefox, Safari, Opera and other browsers.
Thanks to Oliver Goguel of the Free Tools Association, the site also
now allows users to save games on the disk images in their browser
cache. We have been working closely with Oliver over the past few
months to bring support to the Mac platform for all disk images on the
site. We have also reformatted the site making it fit in 1024 x 768
screens.
Currently there are over 1400 Apple ][ and IIgs disk images on Virtual
Apple ][ and more are being added to the site everyday.

The site reports that my old (2.0.0.xx) version of the ActiveGS
add-on (for MSIE 8.0) is obsolete, and points me at instructions
to manually upgrade.
Unfortunately, the "Manage Add-Ons" menu only allows me to *disable*
the add-on, not delete it. When it's disabled, loading a game only
prompts me to re-enable the add-on, and does not offer a re-install
option.
Hmmm...
Sounds like you're a victim of IE8's new paranoia level security
"features". You might be able to flush your local settings and rid
yourself of the old version that's cached locally.
Remarkable that "delete/uninstall" could be disabled!
MSIE is the worlds most prolific source of "what the?" moments :-S

Here is how I removed the old version in IE 8:
Go to the folder C:\windows\Downloaded Program Files
Delete the ActiveGS.cab file.
Then go back and try to install the ActiveGS plugin again and it
should work.
