| 101908 | 2002-11-27 08:19:00 | I have often found that the upgrade will not work in one move, and have had to go IE3 ---> IE4 ----> IE5 to avoid similar situations. Never located the reason, but they either refuse to run or refuse to finish setup unless "stepped" |

| 101909 | 2002-11-27 08:23:00 | don't think i hadn't thought of it. i had opera on there, but then i thought that for my grandparents, who know *nothing* bout computers, if they ever have to ask anyone else to help them with something, then things might be a little easier if they are using IE. also they want to do internet banking, some bank sites are not compatible with alternative browsers. all in all i think ie will be less hassle (if i can get this encrytion thing sorted). BTW, i've tried the suggestion on the MSKB article but it don't work. |

| 101911 | 2002-11-27 09:10:00 | might be a good idea to use IEeraticator to remove IE then reinstall 5.5. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 101912 | 2002-11-27 21:24:00 | Just to add my 2C worth, my 76 year old Grandma & 82 year old Poppa have just got a computer.... And they don’t have any problems using Mozilla (I chose it because it was a lot more stable/secure than IE), and yes it runs https (encrypted sites fine). Cheers Liam |

| 101913 | 2002-11-27 21:36:00 | I've got an origional IE 4.0 CD, 5.5 on a PCW disc and also 6.0 (Which doesnt work on 95 I think) so If you wanna give me some contact details, I'll mail you a burnt CD with both on it or just the origional 4.0 CD! Otherwise, I could try putting it up online all zipped up... I'll see how big it is when I get home. Would you rather download it or have it sent on a CD (I'd bee geared towards the CD...) Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 101914 | 2002-11-28 04:24:00 | that'd be awesome if you could burn both 4 and 5.5 on it for me. i'll put my details up on my home page www.geocities.com i don't wanna post them here. my internet connection out here in the wops is not good enough to download anything over about half a meg. cheers. i managed to get rid of 5.5 and so i'm back to 3.0 now, i'll go through the step ups. |
