Unfortunately I am still running win 98. I aw awaiting a new computer but it will be a couple more weeks... Everything I try and install wants a newer version of internet explorer, I also run Mozzilla so what the hell is this things problem :mad: I broke down and bought a nice HP printer, scanner, fax copier for a couple of bills and it won't work with my IE. So I tried to download a newer version (thank god I have fiber optics!!) but IE version 6 or newer seems to be for Windows XP and won't install.

1st, how the heck do I know what I am running for IE now and 2nd which version will work with Win 98 and 3rd, where can I download it. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!

So you can run Firefox with no problems? If so then just keep using it, it's way better then IE all around.

I don't want to sound like an a-hole but
"Why are people still running IE when there are so many good alternatives out there?"

Firefox - get it at www.mozilla.com
or
Opera - get it at www.opera.com

both of these are so far superior to IE - please for the love of tech supprt everywhere - download Firefox or Opera!!!!!

Ha.. i work at tech support.. i we don't support either firefox or opera.. i know.. we suck.

But. to tell wich version of IE you have.. click on " Help " and " About Internet Explorer ".

www.microsoft.com and look at downloads.

or in your current IE go to " Tools " and " Windows Update ".. it will self check and update easily.

what problem are you having exactly with IE ?
