Ah, in that case it might be wiser to leave well alone.

Well how simple is it? Is it just where you download it and it does all the work, and all you need to do is click yes here and there to licencse agreements etc... I just want to know that by installing a new version of IE it wont cause all of my internet to stop because my computer is too old. Cry

It keeps asking me every now and then to upgrade but i never do, due to fear of it altering my internet settings and my computer being to old and for it to stop working, and me not being able to fix it. Tongue

Upgrading your browser shouldn't cause problems but on the other hand I don't know if it will fix this one. If this is your only complaint & you're otherwise happy with it I would seriously leave it alone. I shall deny all responsibility if you mess it up. Smiley

Hmmm, i'll really concider it now, as IE5 is OLLLD! And such stuff like MSN live messenger isn't compatitable with IE5, and my brother moans at me for having to use Web Messenger. But are you pretty sure that the installation is fool proof and it wont need me to anything special except press 'go' Roll Eyes

And will the fact that im using Win98 have any affects? Huh

As I said earlier, it shouldn't cause problems but things can & do go wrong & I'm in no position to make any guarantees. We don't even know that this would fix your little problem. I would seriously leave it for now.

O.k, i'll leave it for now, but if the installer does all the work, then nothing should really go wrong as you have pretty much assured me that it wont mess around with my internet connections... Cool

I said nothing of the sort. Smiley

Please don't put words in my mouth. Smiley

This should be automatic if you visit the Windows Update site. You might find a lot of recommended updates that will take a while to download/install & I make no promises that nothing will go wrong. If your PC is running without any problems (except for this little forum glitch) my advice would be to leave well alone.
